Actually it is -- you're just denying the inevitable consequence of what
you're advocating. On the one hand you decry government intrusions. Then you
turn right around and advocate more intrusions.

I strongly disagree. I think people have the essential right to be informed

the Constitution that makes doctors into gatekeepers, and there's considerable
evidence that health providers often make decisions that aren't in the best
interests of patients.
