Here's the deal: under the new paperwork, you can designate a CG or MMC as your primary, yourself or yourself and a CG or MMC. All of the patients that MMC's signed up as a primary caregiver need to change to a primary center. These are the numbers that the 1-300, 301-500 and 501+ deal with.

If you had previously registered someone as your caregiver, that's still valid. Next time they renew, they'll simply have the option of having a caregiver that grows for them AND growing for themselves. If they want that right now, arguably they need to fill out a change of caregiver/center form. I've also heard that you can grow and have a caregiver with an affirmative defense, but that's become somewhat irrelevant.
