The prescription requirement is huge obstacle. Jenny Brow

And so all across the board. Time to axe the entire Rx system. It may have been installed to bring regulation to a quack industry, but that day is long gone, and it hardly accomplished that, since it essentially supports corporate quackery, patents, and the rest of the healthcare rip off now days.

For example you need a prescription to get a tire fixed on your wheelchair, if you want either an insurance company or Medicare-Medicaid to pay for it. So the whole FDA, Rx, HMO, healthcare charade medicalizes blatantly non-medical issues---as policy for control and profit.

In hopes of building some form of cross-platform unity, you could argue that women's sexuality and reproduction are not medical issues, since they are not diseases. Likewise with wheelchairs, walkers, and a very long list of other items that are classified as medical devices and services by the FDA.

Time to tell them all to fuck off.
