So, you're in favour of repealing all laws pertaining to mandatory
qualifications for all professions, then? After all, this is nannyism
at its worst. Why should people be forced to study for years and pass
exams to be a doctor?

There is a difference between protecting citizens from predators as opposed
to protecting them from themselves.

You're just - in theory - protecting people from
making a bad decision about who they consult.

Nice try, Pete, but that's no different than protecting folks form other
forms of financial or physical predation. Inadvertently choosing an
unqualified quack to provide medical care is radically different from
choosing to take recreational drugs.
