Absolutely not! As somebody that currently works within a healthcare system that is financially supporting bills to “lobby” or buy through legislation (which they were successful in doing, here in VA) that will compromise quality care and puts OUR health and safety at risk. You don’t get a “cheap option” when it comes to providing healthcare services to people! And why would it ever be ok to isolate, limit, control, and dictate prevention services? And now they are going to compromise the prevention team? Even though we are 100% adamantly opposed to this? Why is prevention not being heard, seen, and utilized as the first line of defense in preventing disease and costly treatment needs? Which will simultaneously improve the health and wellbeing of a population that is in desperate need of access to QUALITY healthcare services by HIGHLY QUALIFIED professionals, that meet the standards of the already existing, yet overlooked and shunned prevention-focused team we have. There is a shortage of quality places for us to work.. since prevention is under the thumb of the restorative team, for some unknown reason! I would love for someone, anyone to answer me why that is? And even if these options met those standards (which they don’t) no one deserves to have to work within this broken and worn out system they keep recycling! And with little investment into the system, they will run these options off, before long too. And watch out with that foreign trained workforce.. there are some facing some SERIOUS sentences from basically using them as “cheap labor”… YIKES!
