You can say the same thing about dentists, pharmacists and chemists, and even osteopaths before they were consolidated into The Match. The AMA has historical and institutionalized hatred against chiropractors which is entirely undeserved. Any licensed MD can sign up with a lame (and abusive) insurance company to get a fire hose of patients aimed at them, but chiropractors have to go out and prove their value every day. If they didn't heal, they wouldn't be in business. MDs only have to prove themselves in school.

I'm not pooh-pooh'ing MDs. But right now the worst subsect of the MD profession is being highlighted and exposed: hierarchy-focused and pharma-controlled order followers. There are plenty of good doctors, but by and large they haven't done their job to lead us out of the problem as their own institutions have subverted their ability to do good. As a consequence, other professions have stepped up. It's not a bad thing.
