Answer:

The California Medical Association is worried that nurse practitioners do not have the necessary training to deliver quality treatment without a doctor's supervision.

Step-by-step explanation:

This out-of-date rule unnecessarily causes geographic disparities in access to healthcare, delays care, and lowers the output of both NPs and doctors. And there is proof of this, according to AANP.
