Take my word for it that in the end a NACHI favorable bill would be no better than an ASHI favorable bill.
Your most likely right. Licensing in all forms does nothing for our profession, but if we have to swallow it, we may as well have a say so in what we’re ingesting
Please don’t take the poison.
The proponents of licensing know that if you work to change wording…as opposed to work to kill the bill…they will win. They will speak to you the words you just posted…and while they have you over in a corner writing out the bill that you can live with, pretending to be interested…their agenda is going forth.
Yours is not the first state to fight this battle and the tactics of those who will financially benefit from these bills are ruthless and time tested.
Licensing is not inevitable but you have to fight the entire bill, not just a part of it.
