BOTH are true statements, and it comes down, entirely, to implementation ( & regulation of implementation ).
Corruption rules this world, however, and expecting anything other-than corruption, of money-driven-medicine ( there's a book named that, if someone wants to read up on such things ), is idiotic.
FLOSS medical diagnostic software may compete well, however, IF evidence-based-medicine is permitted to compete against authority-based-medicine.
( https://www.edge.org/response-detail/25433 is an article that got turned into a chapter of one of John Brockman's books, on authority-based medicine.
That book is named "This Idea Must Die", and some of the chapters in that book I agree with.
However, rather-than giving-up on evidence-based medicine, I'd rather dig-in & break authority-based medicine's gaslighting, eventually breaking authority-based medicine, itself, leaving only evidence-based medicine. : )
