Yes it concerns me that the corporate "not for profit" large medical groups are trending in this direction. I worry about the health care folks working in these systems and how they can become trapped y their medical school debt this is happening all over....the new reality.

Not sure if you are replying to me or a different comment.
Certain large institutions like Mayo Clinic pay salaries to doctors. That is preferrable to "fee for service" concept which is an incentive to see as many patients an hour as possible and to order unnecessary tests.
We need more doctors, but medical school is expensive and people have to go into serious debt...States should be providing more support to public universities so that we can fill our shortages in professional fields. I hear some short-sighted people complain why should they pay so that someone else earns more money. Simply ask those benefitting from free school to do community service in underserved areas. That is a win-win for all.
