Apparently you fail to recognize or acknowledge the difference between "do it every day safely and successfully for decades" vs. "not allowed to do it at all". As you well know, the A$A will never permit AAs to practice without them. That would defeat the whole purpose of the A$As resurrection of the failed AA experiment. The purpose is to guarantee a billing opportunity for an MDA every time an AA touches a patient. That purpose will never change and to state otherwise is absurd and purposely misleading. The AAs have an extremely powerful well funded union/lobby. It's called the A$A.
