One of the things the Affordable Care Act was suppose to accomplish was to increase the primary care force. It was/is suppose to carry this out by increasing medicare/medicaid reimbursement rates as well as loan repayment systems. I've found articles that show this increase in primary care salaries ( http://www.forbes.com/sites/bruceja...000-as-value-based-model-boosts-primary-care/ ), not sure how true/credible that is. However, I haven't found many articles that show if rates of primary care doctors have increased since the ACA was passed? Also to what extent has healthcare tried to fill this gap with NPs/PAs?
