I think that the difference is that doctors have much greater legal protection that keeps non-doctors from doing anything when they don't.

- s1artibartfast 4y agoI would say it's basically two things: Legal ability to provide medical advice Legal ability to prescribe Without these two things there is very little to prevent someone from setting up a low cost Clinic out of their garage. Malpractice insurance is another Factor, but without the legal barriers I'm sure the the insurance Market would be willing to cover someone for extremely low risk basic care. You can get many medications over the counter from a pharmacist and other countries that require a licensed doctor with 10 years of training and the US. Meanwhile, hey Barbara can't even cut someone's hair without a year of training and expensive license to operate from the state.
