Well, time will tell.

My opinion is this... The context of Morse's comment was about the primary care facilities that are being built. I believe he was referring to selecting your primary care physician (PCP, a.k.a. Marcus Welby). You can pick the one you want.

If your PCP wants you to see a specialist, such as a cardiologist, you are able to use whomever you wish. My understanding is that specialists will not be located in the primary care facilities. As is obvious in this area, specialists have their own small group in an office - cardiologists, orthopedic specialists, etc.
