Here comes Trump wielding the sword of Adam Smiths hand to sweep away restrictions and regulations
and offer you instead free market competition.
Great idea for rural and small town health care access .
Both areas have terrible time finding very good providers .
There are plenty of quacks or DRs on the run in this locations .

I agree with this. Like people with hypertension, I have to take a drug for my inactive thyroid for the rest of my life. And yet, prescriptions are only good for one year. To get it restarted, you MUST see a doctor (and, of course, pay for an office visit).
It must be nice to guarantee yourself permanent customers....
I get great care and service from the Nurse Practitioner at my Doctors office. Same Doctor 30 years, has had 2 NP’s for about 10 years now and it works rather well.
A lot of doctors won’t take new medicare patients so they are complaining about the Nurse Practitioners and PA’s being able to receive compensation if the NP’s and PA’s see them?

Once you figure out that they're complicated, that is.
Anybody who plays MS Flight Simulator can land a 747 on a calm wind sunny day if the pilot has a heart attack.
The problem is a crossing weather front as you clear 2000 feet AGL on the way in. THEN you need a pilot.
My brother and SIL are both on Medicare. And I seem to recall several conversations with them on how upset they were when they went to the medical office for routine appointments and were angry that they were seen by an NP instead of a Dr. They seemed to think that their whopping $15 co-pay should have been at least half as much because they were not seeing a “real” doctor.
The failure rate of Doctors is already stratospheric.
The success rate of Doctors is abysmal.
The success rate of cancer treatment is a poorly 3%.
So where is the problem? Allow and expand other medical persons to bill to Medicare.
Medicare is not about snobby, entitled Doctors.
Medicare is about patients.
I’ve received very good care from a Navy PA. Would be delighted to have this extra bandwidth available.
I MUCH prefer our PA that I ask to see over our Primary Care Doctor!!!... he is sensitive and caring and gives us MUCH MORE time than does our doctor!
My Hematologist told me that some of her patients know more about their disease than she does. They have the time to read the research papers, and keep up with stuff.
Would they rather have Hillarycare, where a government bureaucrat would decree that their office will be in Dodge City, Kansas and they would earn a salary of $85,000 per year?
H-1B doctors are going to replace the US doctor/medical work force in the future. You can count on it. It’s all about cheap labor and bigger and bigger profits. You docs better form a union pronto.
I have an 8k insurance deductible
Anything I am having problem with I go straight to the internet and google.
95% of the time I am right an do self treatment or follow the instructions on how to treat.
I still have a physical every other year and only thing I am being treated for is mild HBP
Since Obastardcare was brought, I saw my charges at my primary care doctor go from under 100 bucks for a ten minute, or less visit, to 283 bucks.
And I dont even get to see the doctor. Its the NP I see.
