"Health-care costs are up and demand for services will only increase under Obamacare. In many areas, nurse practitioners can provide high-quality care at cheaper costs than traditional doctors.

"...So why do doctors and other regulators want to clamp down on nurse practitioners?

This video was originally released on December 3, 2013. Go here for more details, resources, and downloadable resources.

Here's the original writeup:

"The major motivation in this opposition is kind of a turf war," says Dale Ann Dorsey, a nurse practitioner (NP) who runs her own women's health clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona.

A nurse practitioner is a registered nurse (RN) who has pursued extra clinical training and a master's degree and is able to practice medicine beyond the scope of what a regular RN can. How far beyond that scope NPs should be allowed to go is a question facing legislators across the country."...

They are not qualified to practice medicine, but with Obamacare or nationalized medicine, it is the wave of the future.

Your working KNOWLEDGE of the medical field leaves alot to be desired.....NURSES are the
backbone of the hospitals,medical centers,and YOUR HEALTH......the doctors RELY on the NURSES to observe the patient and KNOW the DETAILS of progress/lack of progress....THEN
the doctor becomes involved.....being extraordinary NICE to a NURSE would be a good thing IF
you are interested in a GOOD experience....JMO

The nice thing about PA's and NP's is because they cost less per hour, they can take the time to properly diagnose and treat the patient. It seems like so many GP's just make a snap diagnosis and write prescriptions.
