>> The Post story noted that the health care law itself encourages the creation of nurse-run practices by requiring insurers to pay nurses the same rates they pay doctors for the same services, starting next year. Medicare, however, will still reimburse nurses at 85 percent of the doctors’ rate.

This is absurd. Why in the world would you pay an unsupervised NP the same as an M.D.? That's nuts. Of course, Medicare, the government payer, is exempted.
