I don't need someone with years of medical school and residency to tell me when I have strep or an ear infection, just need someone who can write a scrip and notice if there is anything badly wrong that need a doc's attention

New Watch what you wish for...
Most of the money goes to specialists, not the GPs. Specialists already make heavy use of NPs/PAs. And there, things tend to go off the rails, at least for my data point.

Every time I've run into an NP/PA, the end result was ineffective at best. That was not because the operators were incompetent, not by a long shot. It's just that the situation was outside their scope. So in the end, we ended up paying twice plus dragged things out for weeks until the MD can find a free spot.
New true, I have heard in holland you get a nurse to birth at home, no docs involved

New You can do that here, too, with an OB NP.
New There is a material difference between them as well.
Only 10% of NP charts require MD review. 100% of PA charts require MD review. That's typically why specialists prefer PA's over NP's. They get a cha-ching for every patient a PA sees, but only 1 in 10 that an NP sees.
New did not know that, thank you

I hope you don't mind if I don't read this. I don't know if it's going where I don't want it to be going, but if it is going there, I *don't* want to go there, so the best place for me to be is here, not there, and here is where I'm staying.
