    The doctors aren’t the direct problem, just complicit in the evil money scam that is American healthcare.

    Sure they aren’t directly to blame, but so long as they “just do their jobs” they are knowingly and willfully complicit and need to be held accountable as such.

    A dentist that does non-necessary procedures, like filing cabinets or pre-emptive fillings, causes harm.

    A doctor that delays or prevents life-saving procedures because insurance tells them to causes death.

    An engineer who doesn’t question “why does this licence plate reader need to have facial recognition?” causes fascism.

      I agree. I’ll do my own filing cabinets and he can stick to dentistry.

      What you describe is exactly why the dentist got fired once a VC bought out the region, and partly why the doctor burned out.

      They are questioning.

        And why they are no longer professionals and how you know the ones that are still working are not questioning.
