There is also increasing reliance on physician’s assistants and RNs to do some of what doctors used to do, and on LPNs and technicians to do what RNs used to do, for cost savings. Look for more of that, whatever system we end up with.

If I hear about one more para-professional—someone who has absolutely no degrees in the field but some on-the-job-training—in healthcare, I may have to get angry. You don’t want to see me when I’m angry. I had a few of those look at my son when he was being evaluated for services, and they were fairly clueless.
