Just got a letter from the PennSA requesting immediate PAC donation because Gov.Rendell's proposal for Healthcare Reform introduced following language:
"A CRNA shall administer anesthesia in cooperation with a physician, dentist or podiatrist. For purposes of this section, cooperation shall mean a process in which the CRNA and the physician work together with each contributing an area of expertise at the individual and respective education and training of the CRNA and the physician."
Another section of the CRNAs' proposed legislation states: "An insurer issuing health insurance coverage withing the Commonwealth is required to pay a CRNA directly for services provided..."
I don't know whether this letter is meant to scare people into generating income for the Political Action Committee, but it could be a real preview of things to come.
Problem is CRNAs are cheaper and there is a market niche for them in our very expensive medical system. I think the lawmakers will try everything to slash costs, it's much easier than actually doing real reform.
Just thought I would keep people updated.
