In a free market we’d be able choose a non-guild doctor.
Which is exactly the “libertarians want to be able to make up fake credentials like Rand Paul’s fake ophthalmology board he made up for himself” I mentioned.

Essentially, yes. People refuse to understand that it is impossible for there to be a "health care market" in the usual sense because (1) like cable, running a hospital or clinic is expensive enough that many people have only one option, whether or not it is regulated, and (2) unlike cable, many people cannot choose whether or not to participate.
I guess the true libertarian answer is that we don't really need certification at all, or that anyone should be able to start their own certification board. Like Rand Paul and his fake ophthalmology board he started to give himself credentials.
Nothing is ever libertarian enough until we've removed all the regulations and let quacks practice medicine, is it?
