>>>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<<< The law is "requiring" that (supposedly) private companies should pay docs and nurses "the same"? Even the language itself is as un-American as it can get. If they can dictate what services a private company must cover, and what customers they must accept, and how much they may charge for insurance, and what is the "required" compensation to docs and nurses -- so, why even bother calling it "private" healthcare? Who are they kidding? If they want full de facto socialism - call it this way, and own up to it. But no -- they'd rather call it free market, and later blame the quasi-private remnants of the former system for the inevitable dismal failure.
