A subsidiary goal is to keep the supply of doctors down. The manufacturing process to create doctors was engineered by doctors who have only the goal to teach someone how to practice at doctoring.

For a model where health care delivery should head, a good analogy is aviation. Modern pilots do very little flying. They mostly monitor automated systems, standby in case of emergency, and (maybe most importantly) reassure the passengers. (I suspect a completely automated airliner could be built to fly without pilots but who would get on it?) Similarly, medicine could and needs to be more automated. MDs should mostly monitor expert systems, information processes, PAs and NPs, and be available for emergencies. And of course their famous bedside manner is something only an MD can provide.
