Private Equity's use of midlevels for profit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbLE_7FkR18
I think this video sums up the direction of US healthcare as a whole with Private Equity using NP for profit at the cost of patients. High cost of care while cutting out the only person who can deliver quality care, the Physician, also the person most likely to speak out against excessive consultation, labs, or imaging adding unnecessary cost to patients. Over $2000 for a low acuity ER visit where she didn't even see an actual Physician! It's clear the savings of using midlevel's aren't passed to the Patients but pocketed by the Hospital.
