I yield to a plumber on issues of plumbing, on which he is an expert.  I do not yield to him on matters of healthcare, about which he has no expertise.    I do not claim to have "intimate knowledge" on plumbing when I clearly do not, and then try to impose my ignorant beliefs about plumbing onto the plumber who is an expert in his field and whom I have employed to give me his recommendations, based on his expertise.

Whatever "intimate knowledge" you claim to have is interesting, but of no relevance. Perhaps you might consider leaving healthcare decisions to the recommendations of those who have the education, training, and experience to render appropriate ones.
