> Yes, 3 of the 4 states that haven't even gotten to the "bill introduced" stage

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.
