It may be if it was severely downsized. People in good health will still have accidents, women will still have babies, etc.
I suppose that’s fair, yes.
But I also think that it grossly oversimplifies how easy it is to cure literally anything over the course of the entire human race. I don’t think that most doctors are deliberately slow-footing their jobs to stay in business.
I think that it’s more that diseases don’t just go away, that the only things we’ve truly cured usually involve vaccines (and we know how popular those are), and that some doctors just aren’t good at their jobs.
To me, that’s more an argument that medicine shouldn’t be a business than suspiciously eyeballing the doctors themselves. Considering how much of the medical school application involves your ability to pay for the process, the college classes, the EC stuff, the test prep, and for medical school itself, it’s no wonder our talent pool is mostly limited to who can afford to take on a job that requires altruism than who would be truly qualified for the job.
Not to mention, a lot of people are attracted to the medical field simply for the money, and not for any noble reasons like wanting to truly help someone. I think you would get doctors who were more dedicated to helping people if they didn't make so much money -- this would weed out some of the greedy doctors.
Absolutely. But that means removing the cost for medical school and drastically curbing how medical malpractice works, because it does cost a fortune to be a doctor in the US.
Well, I’d beg to differ. If they were NOT slowly killing us, and stealing our money, we’d work very hard and produce... and buy...
... and pay taxes....
We are a very valuable “asset. “
