"New medical home models
help to make primary care economically viable and transform the work
environment for practitioners into a more rational, acceptable career
lifestyle more attractive to today’s students. Coupled with the
overwhelming evidence that primary care reduces healthcare costs,
reduces all-cause mortality, and reduces the illness burden in
populations across the socioeconomic spectrum, why shouldn’t insurers
help advocate for medical students to choose careers in primary care?"
