It sounds like they want to increase the cap, not remove it entirely. This is, again, likely self serving. If there aren’t enough anesthesiologist, for instance, surgeons can’t perform surgery.

But, honestly, good for them. I wish other white collar ICs understood the power of banding together to lobby for your professions interests.
