What this is really about is that with healthcare "reform," millions of new people will flood the system and there won't be enough actual MDs to handle them. So, many will get cheaper and inferior care, and the Obamatards will pat themselves on the back for giving "healthcare" to all.

Not only do a lot of women ALREADY see midwives and APRNs as their primary provider, they routinely refer to the PAs and APRNs as “my doctor”.

Our local hospital practice charges exactly the same for an appointment with an MD or with their PA. The local orthopod does not do initial appointments, history, basic tests. First, the patient sees his PA for these, then they get a subsequent appointment with the surgeon.
