a hospital which offers medical services to """treat""" mental illness can decide to remove child custody and recommend their mental illness """treatments""" for the child? and nobody sees the conflict of interest???
After Covid, at the least, "conflict of interest" became a verboten thought because to wonder about those would be to be a misinformation anti-vaxxer bad guy instantly.
Imagine if this was a mechanic working on your car. OBVIOUSLY the mechanic has a conflict of interest in their recommendations. Everyone understands that, so nobody would accept laws that allow the mechanic to impound your car until you do his recommended work. (generally, barring some annoying exceptions) We have a free market and can take our car somewhere else. That used to be the rule with doctors too: Get a second opinion. Yet because we treated Healthcare as something special and sacrosanct and not just a normal service transaction - instead a resource owned by "The People" - over time we've allowed a giant beast of government and bureaucracy to grow around the industry and create a protected Health Priesthood Class with incredible power in and outside the state. All in the guise of giving more people access to healthcare.
