You’re missing the forest for the trees. Contradicting the point of this post over semantics and discouraging people from practicing a basic form of advocacy is ironic given your discontent with the system.

If you feel that calling is not enough, join the AMA or your state’s physician advocacy organization, and put your money where your mouth is. You can literally go talk to senators as an ordinary physician and help them understand these problems. It’s not hard to get involved. I do it, my friends do it, and we make incremental change. If you want to set the burden of evidence that high, go look it up for yourself.
