First off let me say that I'm done trying to respond to your long posts without breaking them up into manageable sections.
Im saying if they were going to reform it they could have included the caregivers, who the people of Colorado voted in place.

I will absolutely agree with you that this legislation sucks, but it's just weird to me that you seem to be blaming large scale bankrolled MMC's for this legislation, and I fail to see the connection between those large MMC's (or whoever you seem to hate) and the 5 patient cap, for instance. I have yet to see any MMC's taking the position that they are 'in favor' of it. If you use the logic that since they don't have a cap then they are responsible for those who are affected by the cap, then I counter that they paid for that right, what did caregivers do? I don't feel that growing for profit, and not paying taxes, is a fundamental 'right', and a patient. I don't mind that there are rules and regulations in place. I vote, and I regularly contact my elected officials (and the unelected ones) if I have an issue on something. I can't do much more than that. Complaining on an internet forum is useless, instead we should be discussing how we can remain compliant moving forward. Calling this new legislation 'bad' doesn't change it, let's work on dealing with it until it changes.

Or something.
If you can't see the typical politics as usual I don't know what to tell you other than WAKE UP!!!!
Thats because I'm sure "large scale bankrolled MMC's" lobbied money to our wonderful politicians to have the law crafted this way or some politicians have intrests in this somehow.
Why would they come out and say that they agree with the caregiver 5 patient cap? What would be the benifit of that?
There is a reason they are tryoing their best to put caregivers out of business. What would you say that reason is?
