> Granted, those companies don't deal with people's health This sentence of yours called to mind a counter-example: Two companies traditionally in the "business consulting" trade, Atos and Capita, were tasked by the British Department of Work and Pensions with investigating the "fitness for work" of millions of British welfare recipients. Driven by expectations and probably bonuses for producing the desired outcome, they erred overwhelmingly on the side of "fit." A few of their "fit for work" examinees were undergoing intensive care in a hospital, at least one died on the day following the assessment. Apparently the assessment crew didn't even have a single licensed physician on board. So here we had two typical "bean counter" outfits acting in a way that tragically worsened quality of life for many infirm and/or poor people.
