Interesting article. Thanks for sharing. In addition to Primary Care, what Specialties face the greatest shortage?

If there is a shortage of something, shouldn’t its price go up? The earnings of New Jersey physicians are in free fall. So there is no real shortage. And HMO’s, arbitrarily slashing pay to doctors and to hospitals, fully flush with massive reserves, all carry legal immunity and appear to be above the law.

It is usually argued that tort liability is a substitute for violent revenge. If that is true, then the obverse is true. Immunity fully justifies violence.

Is there some reason New Jersey is not placing a greater emphasis on the utilization and expansion of nurse practitioners scope of practice?

Physicians apparently don’t want to work for what a nurse practitioner(primary care) would be paid, but still want to maintain the physician monopoly.
