Medical advertising is obviously heavily regulated, save for supplements.

Arguments specifically against advertising medical devices and drugs are patently absurd. Prescription drugs and medical devices are literally the only ad on TV that requires an expert with a decade of training and a fiduciary duty to you to approve it before you can purchase.

Bans on things that are deadly like unhealthy foods, or things with proven negative ROI and for which debt cannot be forgiven (student loans for liberal arts degrees) don't even enter the conversation.
