If doctors were king, healthcare would likely become the most important part of life. Doctors would be given special rights and privileges, and healthcare would be dramatically improved due to the higher standards of care and resources. Healthcare costs would likely increase due to doctors having greater control over the system and their own salaries, however the quality of care would greatly improve. Medical research would be prioritized and more funds and resources would be devoted to it. Additionally, more attention and resources would be devoted to public health initiatives, such as increasing access to health care in underserved communities. Finally, medical ethics and safety regulations would be enforced more strictly.
