But why compare/contrast those two? They're both health care, after all. There's competition in resources between all specialties. Why is contrasting those two particular ones worthwhile as opposed to say, stating there's a competition between oncologists and gastroenterologists?

I highlighted budget competition to demonstrate that improvements in the cost of health care are always useful, even in systems where patients aren’t charged directly.

As to the choice of specialties in the comparison, mental health was the subject of discussion in the thread and the other selected speciality was arbitrary.
