    Why does health of a nation matter? I don’t agree. And what does health of a nation mean?

    I’d prefer a politician who let’s a nation collapse but greatly improves the quality of life of many. (Like what Gorbachev could’ve been.)

      Lol. I’m sure you would agree that improving the quality of life of many is improving the health of a nation. QED.

        Okay so thats how you define it. Again, QoL is not every politicians goal.

          Medicine has a clear goal- politics do not. That is one of many reasons that good governance should not be looked for only in academia.

          To get back to the point of this discussion, your contention is literally the dumbest point I’ve heard in a long time. Politicians are professionals just like doctors. Education is important.

            Politicians are not professionals like doctors, they are supposed to represent voters views, not be subject experts.
