All primary care should be NPs and PAs. MD should just be specialists. This could help with Dr shortage and medical costs.

except that idea is absolutely horrifying. primary care is the last place midlevels belong. this is the broadest scope for which they are least qualified to practice.

midlevels are best utilized under specialties where scope is more narrow and specific. like a midlevel for a cardiologist to follow up on your ldl and risk stratification.
