LONDON — In a strip-lit hearing room in central London this week, 1,353 days after his first COVID lockdown, Boris Johnson finally testified to the U.K.’s inquiry into the pandemic. The ex-prime minister’s allies believe he gave a competent account of himself to aid the inquiry — which he set up — and shore up his legacy. He spent more than a year preparing, and adopted a less combative tone than he often has in public appearances of late. Families of some of the 233,000 who died watched closely.There was just one issue. Lots of people in Westminster didn’t.“Not sure anyone is paying attention,” texted one MP who backed Johnson’s October 2022 bid to return as PM — which he aborted before quitting as an MP this summer. “He is very much the past.”Another Johnson supporter from October 2022, who didn’t watch either, voiced frustration at being asked about his evidence while the Conservative Party is in a fresh, potentially existential round of ructions over immigration. “I rather ...

Compensation is key to fixing primary care shortage

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 21:50:21 GMT

Michelle Andrews | KFF Health News (TNS)Money talks.The United States faces a serious shortage of primary care physicians for many reasons, but one, in particular, is inescapable: compensation.Substantial disparities between what primary care physicians earn relative to specialists like orthopedists and cardiologists can weigh into medical students’ decisions about which field to choose. Plus, the system that Medicare and other health plans use to pay doctors generally places more value on doing procedures like replacing a knee or inserting a stent than on delivering the whole-person, long-term health care management that primary care physicians provide.As a result of those pay disparities, and the punishing workload typically faced by primary care physicians, more new doctors are becoming specialists, often leaving patients with fewer choices for primary care.“There is a public out there that is dissatisfied with the lack of access to a routine source of care,” said Christopher Kol...

That’s a different question — and the answer is affecting the supply of physical therapists across the nation: The cost of getting trained is out of proportion to the pay.“There’s definitely a shortage of PTs. The jobs are there,” said Lee, a student at California State University-Sacramento who is on track to receive his degree in May. “But you may be starting out at $80,000 while carrying up to $200,000 in student debt. It’s a lot to consider.”As many patients seeking an appointment can attest, the nationwide shortage of PTs is real. According to survey data collected by the American Physical Therapy Association, the job vacancy rate for therapists in outpatient settings last year was 17%.Wait times are generally long across the nation, as patients tell of waiting weeks or even mo...
