Against
 

I am against this proposal because I don't think unlicensed, untrained employees should be performing medical procedures. Even something as simple as an IV catheter takes skill and training to do correctly, because even if someone can get it right, training helps you to respond to any of the myriad ways it can go wrong, and licensure is a public declaration that you are able to handle the problems that will come up.
