Strong disagree: they’re the main entity responsible for limiting the available quantity of doctors/medical practitioners available,
and, well, they’re frankly not spending enough time with each patient per appointment.
Not something to glance over - it’s a complete mishandling of the only formula that matters to the patient.

Many doctors would agree with you. They're under enormous pressure to work faster from both non-medical administrators and non-medical reimbursement decision makers.

OK, doctors don't deserve collective bargaining rights?
I'm not defending their profession.
I'm drawing a parallel in rights.
And limiting entry is great for wages.
Flooding your profession with people lowers wages.
A drivers union would do the same if they could: create and raise standards.
