Yeah I'm familiar with PA's. I take my kid into the "doctor", wait an hour, see a PA for 5 minutes, and pay him almost a hundred bucks. That's not what I have in mind.
Nothing personal against doctors. If I had my way, you'd still make triple the national average, you just wouldn't make six times the national average.
I used to work for an HMO. I understand the financial landscape. I think a lot could be done to make things more affordable and serve the consumer better.
