> No you're not. You can choose which hospitals you're getting opinions from.

you clearly don't understand how hospitals work. getting opinions costs money. just visiting and taking their time costs money.

you can get a hospital to quote you the cost of a procedure. but to actually get a doctor to diagnose you takes time, resources, and tests. this costs money. and without doing said work you have no idea what procedures to get a quote for.

and frankly the only reason to get multiple opinions is if the current doctor has failed to resolve your problem.

no one jumps doctor to doctor unless there is something wrong with the current one like a lack of progress on resolving the issue.

> You're the one constantly conjuring some vague sense of morality as opposed to discussing which models may work better than others.

without understanding the moral outcomes of an economic system makes any such discussion meaningless. You should checkout Albert Hirschman https://www.ias.edu/press-releases/albert-o-hirschman-1915%E...
