I'd prefer the government NOT be in the doctor's office (a private space where a service is being rendered).

- alkonaut 9y agoit's a person giving a service under hippocratic oath. The fact that the person is an MD at all is because he took training that is carefully outlined by government. He prescribes only medication that is legal to prescribe under rules set by government. He's probably paid by some insurance scheme that is either directly government (where there is public healthcare) or at least mandated and controlled by government (e.g. ACA). So I think it's fair to say that the doctors office is one of the offices where government is very present.
- RA_Fisher 9y agoI know and I think we're much worse for it. No matter the intentions, when the government gets involved the services become poorer quality and more expensive. I definitely think we'd be better off if we stopped disadvantaging that services relative to other services.
- astura 9y agoThis is just objectivity wrong.
