2. I have had similar experiences with NPs.

I've had much better care with NPs than with MDs over the past 15 years. They take the time to refer you to other specialists such as dietitians and mental health counselors compared to MDs.

While I cannot be certain since they won't discuss politics, I also suspect that nearly every MD that has seen me in that time has been a Republican while nearly every NP has been a Democrat. Two of the primary differences that I've noticed is that it takes a doctor to prescribe controlled substances and to declare that a patient is disabled.
