The Proposals

They're right...
-
This statement was of interest to me:
"A nationwide reciprocity of medical licensing, to enable Americans everywhere to access the health care they need."
So, each state has a different license requirement? How different are they from state to state? I am surprise to hear this. I would have thought that there would be a national license for doctors.

Uh, no. Not for docs.
Not for nurses.
Or lab personnel.
Or...

Yes.

I have no idea . However, I do know that to practice in, say, Wisconsin, I would have to take, and pass, a test. Though that sounds trivial, it's really not. After 10-15 years, one's knowledge about fields in which s/he doesn't practice are outdated, and frequently erroneous. I have little doubt that @bachophile is a very talented and knowledgable surgeon, if he had to pass an exam on renal physiology, I doubt he'd do well. . What do I know about pathology, recent developments in neurology, or pediatrics?
Nothing.
Reciprocity across state lines is an idea whose time should have come decades ago. If, as a gas passer licensed in Illinois, I wanted to practice elsewhere, I should be able to.
And...don't get me started on "tail coverage" for malpractice....

That makes very good sense.
If you were talking about licensing in Democratic Republic of Congo and the US, of course, a doctor should have to take a new test. But from one US state to another??????, does not make sense.
