We need more primary care doctors
But we need HIGHER QUALITY primary care doctors MORE
That is what decreases costs. Preventative medicine and a reduction of referrals that lead to unnecessary tests. That is done by getting better qualified, and higher trained individuals at the front lines. What makes a specialist a specialist? More experience. So why would you argue that putting someone with 1/10th the amount of real world experience of a doctor at the front lines with no oversight?
This is just going to encourage people to go to some shitty NP at CVS for years because they have to wait 15 minutes less
and they will think that they are getting quality primary care. Scary.
