I review A very good new book about job licenses, License racket REBECCA HAW Allensworth of WSJ.
Most people will admit that licenses for hair brands and interior decorators are excessive, while licenses for doctors, nurses and lawyers are essential. Hair brands have little threats to public safety, but sub -doctors, nurses and lawyers can ruin their lives. She asks for evidence from allensworth’s credit. Do job licenses protect consumers? The author focuses on the forgotten job license agency.
The government enacts the Job License Act, but does not directly handle regulations. Instead, interpretation and execution are generally delegated to a license board dominated by members of the job. Job license is its own regulation. The result is predictable. It is led by the board of directors, professional identity and culture, and this board continues to prefer its members over consumers.
Allensworth spent hundreds of hours at the board meeting by conducting a thorough research on the “license racket”. Tennessee Alarm-Most of the complaints from the board of directors of system contract companies occur from consumers reporting the types of problems prevented by licenses: bad installation, cord violation, high pressure sales tactics and exploitation of the elderly. However, the board of directors dismisses most of the complaints about its own members and sometimes more aggressively disciplines the unlicensed handman, which sometimes installs an alarm system. Allensworth said, “The board of directors is more likely to take 10 times more measures if the board insists on unlicensed practice rather than complaining about service quality or safety.”
She finds similar patterns among boards that control the auctioneers, hairdressers and barber. Enforcement efforts tend to protect the grass more than consumers. Consumers are interested in bad services, not who are licensed, so guess who complains about unmanned practitioners. A practitioner with a license. According to Allensworth, the board was the case that the competitor began, “It’s not a consumer complaint that claims fraud, looting tactics and transplantation.”
We hope that the board that supervise the nurse and the doctor will be able to prioritize the patient’s safety. But the findings of allensworth show that they are not. She stole sex for prescriptions, operates a pill factory, assaults a patient in anesthesia, and ignores serious illegal acts, including nurses and doctors who operate while drunken. Record it.
