What is needed is a paradigm shift. Don't be mad at the orthotists down the
street, they didn't do anything against an ortho tech.
in the same e-mail, he also wrote:
Has the O&P licensure law removed competition? I don't see where it has.
But, it is easy to see where it has driven up the cost of doing business
greatly. Still, with all the negative, I support licensure. Why? Because
the public needs protection. If ortho techs want a change..get a law
passed. Get the O&P law amended. The ranting here does nothing to further
their cause.
I hope Mr. Saunders is not on your state board's PR committee. I can't
decide which is funnier: the fact that he let the true goal of O&P
licensure slip out (erradicating all competitors), or that in the same
breath he said that he supports it because the public needs protection.
Laughable.
Do any of you REALLY think you are fooling anyone with your protect the
patient mantra? Or, perhaps it is the only way you can sleep at night. . .
.???
I hope you guys enjoy your legalized monopoly as long as you have it,
because my guess is that it won't be long!
Just some thoughts from an outsider (in more ways than one!).
