Why not change the ratio right now? MONEY perhaps? No that couldn't be it, could it? By equal practice rights are you referring to AAs practicing without MDA only supervision? Are you claiming that AAs are equal to CRNAs in any operating room or just the ones with MDAs roaming about? The rights and privileges CRNAs have been granted over vehement vitriolic A$A opposition should simply be handed to AAs? The ability of AAs to practice rests EXCLUSIVELY on the fact that they produce by law and by A$A design a guaranteed billing opportunity for an MDA each and every time they touch a patient. With that gone or fading fast, good by doctors assistant!
