Even if bad doctors were a significant cause, they at minimum aren’t alone.
Fallacy of relative privation.
It’s way easier to blame individuals than realize the problem is way bigger than that.
Agreed. It’s not a particular doctor. The current medical framework gives incentive to providing an easy, quick, cheap fix to what is often a complex problem.
It’s a comforting lie because it lets you pretend that the solution is clear and doable.
To be clear. I think RFKs solution is neither clear nor doable. I don’t think it even addresses the main cause of the problem.
Arguable. Your argument appears to assume that bad doctors (for lack of a faster term) are the dominant problem and my assertion is a reminder that there are many other, more likely candidates. Apologies if I put an assumption in your mouth.

I feel like the sins of capitalism are tainting the idea of a standard doctor visit. I would hazard that most doctors just want to help their patients, but that’s rather philosophical and more or less unanswerable.

Fair enough, I misunderstood your stance. I personally think RFK doesn’t deserve any substantial defense, hence me getting argumentative. He’s an unqualified rich asshole in a position he shouldn’t be near and I was apparently in a “shout them down” kind of mood.
