In my country (and I suspect most Western Countries) my doctor would lose his medical licence for selling my contact information.

Your poor oppressed doctor! And I’ll bet they rarely even get to treat bullet wounds. It’s different here in the Land of the Free ™.

Nah its called normal society, ie Switzerland here is the same the benefits of doing so would be absolutely minimal, punishments severe.

Plus its highly amoral and doctors here are still coming from idealistic breed that wanted to help people, those 2 are practically exclusive.

I'm not arguing that what USA is doing is normal, either.
