Now, let's say a Libertarian Paradise breaks out. No more nasty govn't
telling anyone they can't practice dentistry. Cool. BUT... how the heck
does an insurance company know that someone is at least basically
competent now?

In fact, why bother to get insurance at all? Just pick up a fake insurance
certificate at the nearest printer and hang it on your wall to reassure the
s^Hu^Hc^Hk^He^Hr^Hs^h patients. There's no regulation that requires it to be
*real*, is there?


Umm, I buy that insurance so that if I make a mistake I do not lose my home,
business and savings.

Also, most dental insurance companies require that you be insured to do
business with them, and they DO check your claimed coverage with the insurer.
The point being that I need the insurance to do business anyway.

Another problem solved by the private sector without any need for the boot of
government on our necks.
