The United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) has released Primary Care Professionals: Recent Supply Trends, Projections, and Valuation of Services containing testimony before the Senate's Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. The report suggests that a growing reliance on specialty health care services is leading to a delivery system that is unnecessarily costly and inefficient. This shift may also devalue the primary care professionals—physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and dentists— who provide the best health outcomes through preventive and other ongoing care.
