But I thought the free market should decide whether they should work or not, and there is a doctor shortage

If we’re gonna go free market enough (and the govt is going to tell us we’re on our own to determine the qualifications of our caregivers) to decide any pizza guy or cma can also order meds and run a floor? Then fine

I’m fine with either
