The thread of Common Sense

This really depends on what they do. If they just look at you and say something then I disagree with you completely. If they have to do a procedure then yes, they deserve to be paid.

However, universal healthcare should be in place so it should be a non-issue either way.

You presumably go to the doctor to be diagnosed and then go through the standard procedures and questions so the doctor can formulate a diagnosis or plan to diagnose. No doctor ever simply looks at you and walks away, you're paying for blood pressure, oral exam, physical checks, and a presumed expert opinion whenever you go to the doctor. It's a choice to see a doctor and be examined, it isn't a requirement when you're sick to see one, yet a personal choice and expenditure, you pay for the service of having someone treat you.
