Is it true that CRNA's can practice without anesthesiologist supervision is something like 16 states?

if this has already happened how soon before all 50 states?

it seems to me that as their training programs get better and better, they will have the knowledge to practice solo.

if they are doing a good job and managed care etc. continue to face pressure to lower operating costs...who is to say that in 10 years anesthesiologists and CRNA's will be equals and earn the same salary (in other words, anesthesiologists would be making A LOT LESS).

any insight?
