I see no problem with increasing medical professionalism or with health care being a bigger part of the economy.

I don't have any problem with that, either. But that has nothing to do with the point I'm making, which is about roles in society. If the medical business expands to include more medical and business folks, that's not a matter of roles but rather of size. If government expands it or if the clergy expand it, then we get into role issues. For someone who understands that government shouldn't be in the hospital business, this should resonate with you. What if the military started buying up and operating civilian hospitals? Would you not think that it was outside its role?

I don't see that you've identified a negative except that you perceive it as a negative.

I perceive it as a negative because all my education, training, and experience so indicate. They used to pay me to come up with this stuff. Of course, anyone is entitled to an opinion.

It's really hard for people to do this fairly.

It is, but anyone with the right temperament and an analytical bent can learn to do it. What is difficult is watching how cavalier so many people are about it.

I believe we have long since exhausted this topic.
