I believe this is great for the profession and for NYU as long as they keep the standards high and do not increase class size just to fill a need for primary care. But it is not tackling the root of the problem. US primary docs with MDs need business leverage to negotiate with insurance companies to pay for certain services. Primary Care need to have the business mindset and not just focus solely on clinical. Private practice is a business. The Tort law needs to be revised
