To address the shortage of primary care professionals, authors recommend increasing Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement for the services to attract more young medical school graduates.

How typical. Instead of trying to address underlying issues. Just throw more money at the problem!

Primary care has been relegated to a joke of a profession. They are office workers. They see obese elderly patients all day who were told they need to lose weight 6 months ago, and no change except patient saw a new drug advertised on tv and wants it.

That’s what I saw in my months of shadowing a couple of them…couldn’t believe it. One got so excited when somebody came in with a big thorn because he got to get out the surgical tools…made his week. It was sad.

Specialty practice and insurance companies have ruined that extraordinarily noble profession

I would prefer people specialize rather than see a doctor who only has time to read the package inserts on prescription drugs.

But fuck insurance. "Hurr durr we are big money so we just waive our arms and make 40-60% of the balance disappear but if you don't have use you're going to lose your house"

Everything about (((insurance companies))) is fucked up. "hurr durr, we're going to own every aspect of medicine. you have to see who we want you to see, and they're going to have to treat you how we want them to or you won't get to see anyone. We'll chop off you boys dicks and make you get vaccinated; we'll force unnecessary procedures and prohibit necessary ones. We'll make everything so complicated only our (((lawyers))) can figure it out. "
