How many of the people who vote for these bills have an NP as their PCP?
I'd take a wild guess that not a single one of them does. I'm sure they demand to see a physician and are given the "VIP" experience when they get their medical care.
I've personally seen so many mismanaged patients from mid-levels. Practicing medicine is not easy and being a nurse does not prepare you to be a "practitioner" other than patient contact. There's a reason medical school is 4 years and residency is 3-7 years plus fellowship after that. I really would never trust an NP or PA (mildly better) with anything beyond the most basic algorithmic medicine.
