Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
The people in charge of the healthcare system are not politicians, they are the administrative state, both within medicine but also just the dems and their media apparatus etc.
Individual doctors were not in charge and just got their marching orders and beliefs via download as per usual.
Healthcare is rotted just like everything else but those tendrils are from elsewhere.
They tend to also be some form of doctor themselves though -- you can add "bring back medical ethics" to "I want an apology" if you like -- throw a pony on the list, I like ponies.
Hospitals aren't really run by doctors anymore, this is partly by law and partly by incentive (other types of staff, like nurses can increase income by moving into admin but doctors in the U.S. usually make less). Physicians can't own hospitals, and a lot of places will have an on paper doctor who is in charge of something as a medical director or whatever but doesn't actually run anything and exists mostly as a liability sponge.
Public health stuff is its own specialty and you can cast them into the fire. There are a few exceptions like Fauci but as is usual with a lot of doctor stuff we aren't really responsible for most problems.
