There's this odd idea that all business models must be protected by the government. I think back to when the American Medical Association went to Congress to protest spending money on social welfare; things like providing uncontaminated milk for the poor, and the other practices that Sara Josephine Baker put into place which cut the infant mortality rate in New York City by 40%. For example, "a petition was signed by more than 30 Brooklyn physicians and sent to the mayor demanding that the bureau be abolished because "it was ruining medical practice by its results in keeping babies well"."
Taking business from doctors by reducing the number of sick babies = theft!
