It's a problem.

If you borrow enough to go to med school you are nowadays looking at 250K+ debt. Some of the fancier specialists make 300K/year so you can pay that off, but the low paying jobs (internal medicine, family practice, pediatrics, psychiatry) often will pay 80-100K/year so it does not make sense to go into those fields anymore. Everyone wants to do dermatology/ophthalmology/orthopaedics because that's where the dollars are.

So unless things change, your new primary care doctor will be a nurse or a PA. Actually, the NPs and PAs who work for the high-paid specialties make more money than a physician in primary care, sometimes. WTF?
