Some of those NP's probably know more than you..
You would be surprised.

That includes the ones who have been doing it for years.

Seriously, you would be amazed.

How much training do you think NPs have?

I just find it mind boggling that the public would fight so hard to have a doctor NOT be checking up on their NP. Fight to NOT have a MD available to answer questions or help out if something seems strange.

It just goes to show you how little the public understands about healthcare.

The cost of:
A. Solo NP
Vs
B. NP + MD oversight
Is trivial. It actually might be zero, just less money in the NPs pocket. Why would you not want that oversight?

This bill being passed has no bearing on wether or not you can see your NP. You will still have the same copay. It’s not going to lower yours or anyone else’s healthcare costs.
