FL Bill Requires Name Tags For Doctors And Nurses

Florida Politics reports:

Florida health care providers could be disciplined if they do not correctly identify their name and profession under a bill headed to the full Senate.

The committee, which approved the bill on a 12-3 vote, agreed to make a major revision to the legislation at the urging of Sen. Ben Albritton. The underlying bill opened up health care providers to disciplinary action by state regulators if they misrepresented that they were a certain type of specialist.

Albritton’s revision, however, requires health care practitioners to display either name tags or other type of embroidered identification that includes their name, license and professional degree.

Read the full article. Rather obviously, the purpose of the name tags is so anti-vax nutbags and others can more easily harass health care professionals.
