This is a very good idea and we should do this.
- rscho 8y agoOn paper yes. In fact, this is a social dilemma and your point of view will hold until you yourself will end up in the hospital and complain because your doctor does not know his/her job. I don't mean that aggressively. I unfortunately get that from first hand experience.
- EamonnMR 8y agoIf it lowers the barrier of entry such that I actually go and see a doctor, I'd call that acceptable.
- rscho 8y agoYes, of course. In fact, the problem is that when we make major changes to the healthcare system, the truth is that no one has any idea of where we'll end up a few years later. That's why there is a lot of posturing on both sides. I can judge how extreme opinions will impact my immediate professional surroundings, but besides that your judgement is as valid as mine.
