Excellent article. Reading the above reminds me of the Hillarycare laws proposed in early 90s. The government provided a prison term and a fine of 10k for any MD that rendered care to a patient outside the government sanctioned process........PER EACH INDIVIDUAL VIOLATION. Liability nearly endless and open ended.
The BMQA in California is notorious for licensing of everything.....and underserving and undermining everyone.
I have a long experience in the credentials business as a founding member and first Chair of testing committee ARMRIT.....the first and only alternative to the mammoth ARRT...who lobbied Congress to pass laws giving it exclusive authority as to who would operate diagnostic mri scanners. 30 years later.....still a battle.....despite grudging coexistence.
Rip would probably be a very popular strength coach in prison.
