Imagine that They control You. That's what he's pitching here.

Medicine was (and for a minority of doctors, still is) a helping profession. The doctor helped you to achieve what you - the patient - wanted. If the patient didn't want it, then the doctor respected that. Bourla is describing a fundamentally different model. In his HappyLand, the doctors - and more importantly, note, he talks about the insurance companies - direct what the patients should do, and the patients obey. The herd is kept healthy by the shepherds. If the herd doesn't comply, the shepherds let them die or kill them. They eliminate compassion entirely from medicine.

And they wonder why people are abandoning their HappyLand as fast as we wake up to it...
