This is another bunch of straw-men.

I nowhere suggested going back to how things were before, and my proposal explicitly rejected the idea of allowing self-proclaimed doctors.

Only self-proclaimed licensing boards? If you want an alternative licensing board, the osteopathic boards are it. Otherwise you're just engaging in ideological privatization for the sake of privatization; you don't even have a rationale for what's wrong with the licensing boards we do have.
