Who would?
IMO, the greatest general strength of our medical system is specialists. Although it is a costly strength the care from the best specialists (be it surgeons or otherwise) is without equal.
And the greatest weakness is the reliance on prescriptions and treating symptoms instead of fixing problems. Which is why DO schools exist in the first place. An alternative and a better approach to something that does not work well.

Totally agree. People bash American health care and American education because they look at averages instead of looking at our best vs. their best. Our best doctors, lawyers, scientists, engineers, businessmen, etc are by far the best in the world.We may rank in the 20's or 30's in most healthcare stats, but the best American doctors have no equal.

Nothing against auburn getting the school but some of you need to dial it back. Like this...
