Danielle Smith pushing ahead with $300 health spending account.

Ha because that's credible saying what education and role you have in healthcare?

Anyone can say "I'm a doctor" on reddit. Your claim of being in the medical feild is just as useless as my claim. I can say I have 20 years of experience and have my medical degree. You can claim to have a PhD and 30 years experience. They're just claims.

And nurse practitioners do the same role as physicians in many cases. It's not something that's laughable. It's not something to debate whether or not they have the ability. The fact is they do have the ability and they do treat patients in clinic.

Nurse practitioners have 6 years of medical training. Plus the experience required as a nurse before starting your masters. GP's have 4 year medical degree. In many cases 3 year medical degree. Their undergrad is irrelevant.
