This is exactly it, but anyone with fancy letters next to their name will kvetch and contort their words all over to avoid taking responsibility. No one with a medical degree should be in charge of deciding who else can get that degree. There's no clearer modern racket to me.
Quickest way out is probably just to pass legislature allowing PAs (and maybe NPs, but I'm more skeptical of their training) to perform without an MD above them - but of course every time this comes up, the AMA lobbyists come out in full force.
