In my opinion we need to elevate doctors and invest heavily into more nurse practitioners and the like. I don't think you need to see a doctor all the time, for procedures or surgery yes, or if you need someone to actually investigate something.

But there is no point in pretending doctors are going to surge, the current administration is trying to make being a doctor harder, not easier. Doctors also avoid certain fields because it doesn't pay enough. The supply is also artificially restricted. It's a system so fucked that it's better to ignore it and pump out PRNs
