Then maybe the government (i.e. the public) should pay for more of these regulations, as opposed to unfunded mandates, which small operators cannot afford. In the example of the individual doctor's office, perhaps the government should provide software and billing systems to adhere to their mandated processes, inspectors, fund regulatory agencies, legislative support, etc. Otherwise regulatory capture can drive out much of the competition, potentially leaving us worse off than we could be otherwise.
