Physicians assistants leave for Iowa due to licensing wait times in Illinois – Center Square

State Sen. Chapin Rose, said physician assistants recently told him they were going to Iowa to get licensed, because the process took six months in Illinois. “That’s six months of lost wages to those individuals. It’s also six months of lost productivity to the state of Illinois. It’s six months of lost tax revenues to the state of Illinois. If they go to Iowa, we’ll never get them back."

When you vote for the blues you lose. Vote red instead. Bottom line. You want a prosperous state you change it at the polls

Illinois is officially trading its medical experts for tax hikes and Trump-obsession. While the “Tax the Rich” crowd treats a physician’s $500,000 student debt and 60-hour work week like a piggy bank, the Democratic machine is busy prioritizing tens of thousands of non-citizens over the taxpayers who actually keep the lights on. The result? A six-month wait for a check-up and a medical exodus that no amount of political virtue-signaling can fix. Wake up, Illinois: you can’t run a healthcare system—or a state—on mediocrity and spite.

The time it takes to get licensed in IL is unacceptable. If it’s an election year, it takes longer. Are politicians pulling state employees to campaign? Or are the employees political or DEI hires?
