We know what you mean by "provider". But as government-speak healthcare vocabulary transforms
our vocabulary,
it's wise to look for a "physician" who's board-certified in his/her specialty.
And, keep an eye on the ulterior motives that are seeking cheaper, more "cost effective" substitutes for the primary healthcare services we have known.
(Imagine the spendaholics in Congress being "cost effective" and perpetually running for office on their "cost-effectiveness" accomplishments....er......controls.)
Paramedics, EMT's, medical assistants, nursing assistants, phlebotomists and x-ray technicians are "providers" too.
But I don't want one as my primary-care physician.
