You are more concerned with your market share than you are patient health. The rest of the country has NP and PAs delivering primary care at a range of facilities. Louisiana took the brave stance not to allow that, interesting decision in a state that struggles with 1) a lot of terribly unhealthy people 2) many people unable/unwilling to pay for their own health care.
How much are your association dues? I have to admit, they are paying dividends.

his 'market share' will not likely be impacted lmao. patient health will likely be impacted.

actually the majority of states do not allow independent midlevel practice. most states do require collaborative/supervision contracts.

1) is a great reason to not allow midlevel independence as managing a patient population with many and complex medical problems is much more likely outside the scope of midlevel practice and training.
2) if they can't/won't pay for health care your point is moot.

So you think that terribly unhealthy people, the sickest of the sick, should be cared for by people with less training?
If people can't pay for their healthcare, maybe idk more residency slots could help with this since residents deliver excellent, high-level, supervised care to patients without insurance. After all it's residency slots, not med school, that is the bottle neck, despite the crazy conspiracy theories here about the big bad AMA artificially limiting the doctor pool.
