I am a primary care physician and the owner of my own practice. I am concerned about the future of medical care in the US because under Obama’s delusional and misguided plan, it will be foreign medical graduates filling most of the primary care job positions. I have seen first hand the lack of knowledge many of these physicians have, even after finishing residency in the US. They also lack cultural sensitivity. Also concerning is the possibility of widespread use of nurse practitioners and physician assistants. I no longer hire any of these physician extenders because I have had such horrible experiences with their poor judgement and poor knowledge base. The quality of healthcare will significantly decrease.
