"Getting treatment from people who are not doctors implies lower quality if not dangerous treatment. "

I would be unlikely to submit to heart surgery by a janitor, but have allowed lesser medical personnel than heart surgeons to work on me. There is a reason why teaching hospitals have students perform simple medical procedures and residents practice in situations where the top expert is not required.

If you are offended that many people would rather receive care from people you would not deign to visit it is your anchor to bear. Please don't try to weight the rest of us down with it. Just remember that in countries with socialized medicine the doctors are often from the third world because at socialized wages doctor ceases to be a path to success. You may not deign to utilize the services of those you would inflict upon the rest of us who lack your resources.
