Are these guys out of their minds stating things like:
"The US experience, now with over 200,000 nonphysician clinicians over 40 years, has demonstrated that both PA’s and NP’s deliver a high percentage of medical care services traditionally provided by physicians.
This service delivery has been shown to be similar, if not indistinguishable, from physician delivered care in terms of quality of care, cost-effectiveness, and patient care safety." (page 16)
Another quote:
"PAs and NPs have been shown to be effective substitutes for physician residents in US graduate medical education" (page 13).

Are they serious? PAs get paid 2x of residents' salary working half the time.
