6. Are dentists, podiatrists and tattoo artists required to have admitting privileges?

These facilities, for instance, engage in practices that can easily require immediate intervention by a hospital, yet I don't hear Republicans screaming for tighter regulation of urologists. For that matter, a lot of "Urgent Care" clinics employ doctors who have no affiliation with or privileges at any nearby hospital.

In terms of "medical reasons that it's bullshit," the inconsistency is the first glaring flaw that I see. On what basis do they justify tighter scrutity of women's health centers than other medical facilities?
