Medical offices hide their numbers for very good reasons: if you've got an abusive spouse, you often don't want the medical office in your call history. Which results in a lot of very important calls being ignored.

Stopping caller ID spoofing doesn't have to mean caller ID is always enabled. You should be able to make a call with NO caller id, but not a call with somebody else's caller id.

Unless I'm missing something, this doesn't seem hard to fix: just let users decide whether hidden numbers should be ignored or received.

Doesn't that make it more likely people are going to miss important calls from their Doctor's office?

Just send the call to voicemail. Doctor's offices always leave voicemails. Spammers sometimes leave voicemails, sometimes not, either way they're easy to filter out / ignore.
