Mental health practitioners, the ones licensed to prescribe, have no interest in residing and practicing where the most untreated per capita
folks in need of treatment, reside. Practitioner lobbying is a result of a for profit culture that begins with limiting the number of admissions
to medical schools and burdens those who are admitted with tuition debt. Tuition debt provides a recruitment advantage for the U.S. military
which trades tuition assistance for military service. Bottomline is individual state licensing schemes resulting from lobbying prevents interstate
practice of those licensed to prescribe in their own states, so good luck with your good intentions based proposal.

but there is only a spotty network of psychiatrists to meet potential need. According to a 2015 estimate based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are 76 percent more psychologists or psychiatrists per capita in blue states than in red states. Roughly 60 percent of counties in the United States — including 80 percent of rural counties — do not have a single psychiatrist practicing there, based on a 2017 report. Most of us are in the Northeast and some counties along the West Coast.
Telepsychiatry and licensing reciprocity laws could allow out-of-state psychiatrists to conduct assessments and thus compensate for their skewed national distribution. This, too, will depend on the restrictiveness of the state..."
Right wing oriented people tend to consult clergy about mental and emotional health symptoms, if they seek help at all. They regard mental health
professionals as liberal, which they overwhelmingly tend to be. Clergy, especially in red states, tend to be science skeptical, partisan G.O.P. and embrace associated
talking points.
We live in a country in which 12 states with G.O.P. controlled state governments deliberately prevent all poorer, working age, non-disabled males
from healthcare coverage for the past 8 years that is enjoyed in the other 38 states and DC despite their policy of only providing stabilizing emergency medical
care costing their states more than if they expanded medicaid.
The fact is that life in red states is comparable to life on another planet for highly educated adults of blue states. They can identify more closely with the
poorest residents in their own geographic area than with the wealthier residents in many red states. The largest population city voting in the majority
for Trump in 2020 was # 22, Oklahoma City, 49.5% white, total population 681,000,
There is no interest to a commercially viable level. This must have been a short lived attempt because there was none, 20 years ago.
