<p>Two points:</p>
<p>1) It’s pretty clear that there needs to be more GPs and less specialists. The Affordable Care Act is moving in the right direction by increasing reimbursement rates for GPs. GPs can have a conversation with you and think about your whole health; specialists will only look for what is wrong within their narrowly-defined worldview (and bill you more for it).</p>
<p>2) The medical profession has suffered (or should I say benefited?) from under-supply for quite some time. If U.S. Med Schools aren’t going to train more doctors (and they are starting to, thankfully) the doctors need to come from somewhere.</p>
