But…why?

WA house bill 1430 passed, and you can see from the encircled text what it entails. I have nothing but appreciation and respect for my colleagues across the discipline, we all have various essential roles with the goal of trying to help people. But this bill seems to just…devalue physicians. “Sorry you went to medical school and residency for 8 or 10 years, and are saddled with debt because you thought being a physician meant something of value. Our legislative session has determined it has no value and are codifying it into law.”
