> Joining the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLCC) would allow American doctors to practice in those states. Who knows, it might help.

This is a national level survey so it's unclear what you mean by "those states", but if you mean all states, all but 4 states have joined, passed legislation to join, or are going through the legislative process to join the IMLCC.

> But those IMLCC non-member states are Democratic Party controlled, so they won't.

Why lie? Yes, 3 of the 4 states that haven't even gotten to the "bill introduced" stage are democratic states, but then there's SC. You'd have to be severely confused to think the former home of Lindsey Graham was not a republican state. So it's certainly not all, and the vast majority of democratic states have joined so it's clearly not the partisan issue you think it is.

> It's better for Democratic states to have unhealthy and decaying societies. It really gets out the vote. Ignorance is bliss.

Oh, I see. You are, in fact, severely confused.

Republicans introduce bills almost every year. It's a performative act for them. Whether the GOP has this legislative session in a particular state, maybe, maybe not.

You claimed, falsely, that the only non-member states were democratically controlled. That's false and easy to verify using the IMLCC's own information. So my question still remains unanswered, why did you feel the need to lie about it?

		California, New York, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Virginia is 5 (five) controlled by Democrats. Puerto Rico is ambiguous, and South Carolina is 1 (one) GOP state. It's 5 to 1 simply, and 14 to 1 in population. South Carolina has a "quick" process for licensing out-of-state physicians.[1] In addition, Rhode Island is Democratic and refuses to implement it.[2] So getting closer to 6 to 1. And yes, the South Carolina Medical Association, a hotbed of rightwing nutjobs, is pushing back against it in SC.[1] Rightwing extremism, plain and simple. You're right, I was wrong.

What a stupid lie to tell. Anyone can check the statistics and see that life expectancy and quality of life are both much higher in progressive states than they are in red states.

What do you see as the biggest complaint against the IMLCC?

Are Democrat states working against the healthcare needs of their constituents?
