I would have been good with labeling reqs and health and safety standards.
Some caregivers did step up to the MMC level to continue with their ability to care for more than 5 patients. I know that there are some that do still provide for indigent patients...although the legality of that is a "gray area" now. The new bill will have a provision to fix that.

There is no provision that states caregivers can no longer provide free meds.
