I don't think we disagree, but the subtitle of your article is provocative : "Doctors should not pretend that they are experts in how society should be run". We don't "pretend" we are experts when we, for example, ask parents during a well-child check if there are any guns in the home and how they keep things safe. However, this has been construed (in Florida, for example) as an overly intrusive and political question to ask. We don't "pretend" we are experts when we question the wisdom of reduced Covid-19 testing to only the sickest people. And we don't "pretend" we are experts when we question the value to society of allowing fully 30 million people to be uninsured, thus guaranteeing heavy burdens on ERs and the rest of society which needs to foot this bill. So my point is that we physicians have direct experience of the ways in which social policies affect people's health, and it would be negligent for us not to communicate these views. We do not really have time to "implement" policies, merely to advocate for reform. Couching us as "pretenders" is harmful, demeaning and denigrating to people who have devoted their entire lives to trying to improve humanity.
