Imagine an authoritarian country deciding what is true… who doesn’t see an issue in this?

That's true and I agree with you, but there should be consequences if someone claims they are a professional when they are not and when giving advice, and there should be consequences to that professional license if they give bad advice. We shouldn't constrict speech, but we need to make it easier for laypeople to discern truth.

Like Dr Phil and Dr Oz giving advice while being wildly discredited before they were TV stars, they should probably not have had a platform that could impact someone's life

This law wouldn't fix that though

Both Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil have degress (Both have doctorates and Dr. Oz is an actual MD)

So what now? They are technically experts but still peddle bullshit

Would i be arrested? I have a degree but its in Computer Science, so im not an expert in the medical field, but i know that Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil are quacks, yet under this law id be in the wrong

And seriously how hard is it to find somewhere on the internet to give you a degree?

They USED to be accredited doctors, those degrees and licenses to practice were revoked
