Nurse practitioners have been allowed by states to handle more and more services. Telehealth primary care has enabled more scaling - I know because I use such a service for my whole family. I’m much, much more confident in the US to handle an influx of immigrants and aging retirees than Canada or the UK with their rigid services.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoYes, one of the ways that the limited resource of doctor time will be allocated is to simply have increasing portions of the population see people less qualified than doctors (perhaps not bad from a systems point of view if it is diagnosing conjunctivitis, but from an individual point of view, you can see where this is going.). You pay more, you get people who have met a higher standard of education/experience, e.g. concierge care and direct primary care practices.
