While a state legislature was debating a bill that would allow optometrists to administer certain eyedrops during eye exams, 50 ophthalmologists descended on the capitol to lobby against the bill. The chairman of the state Academy of Opthalmologists told a reporter: “There is no economic advantage one way or the other.” The ophthalmologists’ sole concern was that, if the bill became law, “more people will be harmed through the inappropriate use of drugs.” Do you believe that 50 medical specialists all took a day off from their practices to lobby the legislature exclusively out of concern for the public’s health? Why or why not?
