Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

American doctors are complicit in causing current state of affairs in medicine. AMA (American Medical Association) is chiefly responsible for limiting the number of doctors to half that of other developed nations, causing American doctors to be the highest paid in the world. They are enriching themselves at the expense of the public.
It's mostly the same trick as the Ticketmaster/artist false dichotomy. People can get a convenient scapegoat to blame (insurance companies, hospital administrators) while doctors can get rich without a public outcry against them.
