Family medicine MD/DO will be obsolete?

[gap55u]

If and only if value based care and population health starts to matter — then docs will show value compared to mid levels. A specialist friend goes crazy because an NP sees a patient with chronic cough and refers to allergy pulmonary and ENT at same visit (true case). C-suite sees $$$. I’m afraid for primary care— and by extension for our health care system — we will end up with yet worse health outcomes at higher overall expense

From a purely financial standpoint, it doesn’t. We’re a dying breed.

What is stopping all the bighealthcare companies from replacing primary care doctors wholesale with mid levels ?
This is not another mid level bashing thread , let’s keep it focused on a single issue
How does it make sense financially for a organization to hire one MD rather than 2 midlevels ?
