I was thinking about the 2-3 states that have that rule. Seems to me, a doctor can admit you to a hospital at his/her discretion, especially one that has a private practice and also works in a hospital. So you might not need to be extreme to be admitted but it might require a 2 day stay or something and that will cost you some money
Like I said, where there's a will, there's a way but it might require doctor shopping which can be difficult if you have insurance and a "primary care" physician. I know it's a pain to swap. Maybe your PCP can give you a reference to an infectious disease specialist. They would be more apt to be up to date on all the regs and any loopholes and might have more clout with the pharmacist. I don't even have insurance or cash to pay a doctor so I'll just have to work through covid if I get it.
Oh, we are covered...have a doc “for broken bones” and a trusted doc for sickness...who is on the preventative/naturapathic spectrum (and happens to have masters in Epidemiology
Too) ...then have a Naturapath...we use whatever is needed.
