Libertarians agree with you: practicing medicine isn't my right unless I can find someone willing to pay me to do it. Customers determine whether I get the privilege to sell any good or service. The question is who else should have the ability to make such a decision.
- RougeFemme 13y agoEven if only customers should have the right to make that decision, customers should, in a free market, have access to information that would help them make an informed decision. I think the question in that scenario should be, what information should the customer have access to, who should vet that information and how long should the vetting process take? No, you don't want physicians falsely accused and you don't want information misunderstood, but this doctor should not have been so protected by the system. I'm not in favor of higher malpractice maximums, but some mechanism needs to be in place to "encourage" hospitals and doctors to blow the whistle more loudly and forcefully.
