SACRAMENTO — As the state moves to expand healthcare coverage to millions of Californians under President Obama's healthcare law, it faces a major obstacle: There aren't enough doctors to treat a crush of newly insured patients. Some lawmakers want to fill the gap by redefining who can provide healthcare. They are working on proposals that would allow physician assistants to treat more patients and nurse practitioners to set up independent practices. Pharmacists and optometrists could act as primary care providers, diagnosing and managing some chronic illnesses, such as diabetes and high-blood pressure. "We're going to be mandating that every single person in this state have insurance," said state Sen. Ed Hernandez (D-West Covina), chairman of the Senate Health Committee and leader of the effort to expand professional boundaries. "What good is it if they are going to have a health insurance card but no access to doctors?" Hernandez's proposed changes, which would dramatically shake up the medical establishment in California, have set off a turf war with physicians that could contribute to the success or failure of the federal Affordable Care Act in California. LA TimesThis came up two years ago. Jerry knew we had a big problem and went to the Obamacare delusionals in DC and asked for a small co-payment fee. Obama, dumber than horseshit, refused; and Jerry chose to lie about the problem for the sake of the Undemocratic Party. Jerry is a liar, a political liar. Though smart, being a liar in California is a requirement for our undemocracy.

It sort of feels too complex and very extensive for me. I'm having a look ahead on your subsequent post, I will attempt to get the dangle of it!
