Furthermore, they used an NP win to our advantage! Edited November 18, 2020 by Joelseff 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator ventana Posted November 18, 2020 Moderator Share Posted November 18, 2020 this is nice they are not yet doing anything but this does state that in the future then can do something.

iconic Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I don’t believe that VA facilities are subject to state laws, so good news 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cideous Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) This could be a good thing...if you work for the VA. I know we are looking for any victory we can find, but what about the other 99% of PA's not working at the VA?

Works for others, why not us? 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas5814 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 In Texas we had this odd system where when we wanted to expand our scope somehow it would get approved for use in underserved areas and then after nobody died it would be rolled out more generally. I'm not sure why country folks were the test subjects but it worked. So Rev's point about toe holds is true. Make a crack and then leverage it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
