It is not about masks. It is about crazy prices throughout the industry. Lack of both quality and price transparency. Lack of competition.

And blaming the medical community for that is as silly as blaming them for the toilet paper shortage.

They are absolutely part of the problem. Expecting crazy compensation, not knowing the cost of their treatments and being transparent and cost effective, managing medical school requirements and enrollment to create a shortage rather then surplus of practitioners, creating crazy cost schedules, building crazy expensive facilities. Medical people manage much of this system and are directly involved in a lot of this. Are they the only ones... no. But they are not without blame.
