The PGA has been vocal about the industry's evolution and health insurance is at the core of a lot of this (I've been producing for over 20 years and have paid for my own my entire career). Ultimately, a strong and healthy producing community is in the best interest of the industry IMO. of course, as a producer, I may be a bit biased.

I totally agree. Producing credits are a great incentive when people bring stuff to the table. When it's an "in name only" benefit for contractual filler purposes, what's really the point? All it does is detract from those who do the hard work and diminish the incredible effort it takes to make a movie or show.
