    These companies are just trying to make more money. It has nothing at all to do with value based care. I see many (poor) offers from these companies, and I do not intend to work for them as a primary care physician.

      100% - they are going to use them as starting points to upsell their expensive services and pharma products. Love how comfortable people seem with the idea of amazon buying up primary care networks though lol

    Want to REALLY reduce healthcare costs? Focus more on preventative care. Reactionary care will routinely cost more, regardless if it’s fee for service or value-based care.

    Isn't there a student debt forgiveness floating around in Congress right now? Maybe they could approve forgiving graduating doctors if they go into PCP, allowing them to take a much lower salary and go into PCP.

    How about make a universal basic healthcare services and cost . I.e a floor with the minimum needed to have a decent healthcare system with fixed and transparent prices across the USA as opposed to having contracted, non transparent conditional, adaptive pricing which is negotiated between all businesses including the hospitals via their chargemasters…

      You have to be either nuts or have never lived under a worthless national healthcare. I wouldn't want to live in this country if they came up with a national healthcare because it would be a death warrant like in other countries.

    As a registered nurse, I can see why there's a large push for nurse practitioners: there's not enough primary care providers in the US.
    But NP's don't make as much as PCP's.
    As a matter of fact I make more as a floor RN than an NP.

    a value based system would definitely bring down costs and seems better for patient outcomes but I worry the the savings will just be turned into profit for these companies.

    Interesting. I don't see how lower costs ever translate to better care. Too much money to be made in our Healthcare system. Look at Advantage plans and how they make them sound so great with constant advertising but yhey don't tell you the real facts about co-pays and higher death rates.

    • @channawilliams8552

      And the Advantage plans don't pay for anything, misleading people and causing gaps in care.

    Amazon?..I don't know if I like Amazon being too many things..the reason being is that:Amazon hires people at its facilities in waves for say..15dollars per hour..then Amazon lays that whole wave off before they get raises..and is always building hubs,so they can lay-off at this hub and hire at this hub and keep the rate of pay at 15dollars..Amazon is sly,so would you want to work under them anywhere else?..Amazon laying off and hiring at the same time is the biggest "flim-flam" ever!

    My mum and sister in law both work in the medical sector. They both say that when Americans come in they always ask for way more tests than they really need and don't trust that 99% of the time the doctor already knows what you have before they do the one test and second third and fourth tests are unnecessary.

    Good luck getting good care from qualified physicians after turning over your care to companies who’s primary goal is to turn a profit. Get ready to see mid level providers like nurse practitioners and physician assistants with only a fraction of training as a real physician making medical decisions to help the company cut costs and save money. Then when something goes wrong, they tell you to go to the ER to see a real physician.
