On this episode of the “AEI Events Podcast,” Peter Buerhaus presents on his new report “Nurse Practitioners: A Solution to America’s Primary Care Crisis” and how the shortage of primary care providers are likely to worsen in the coming years.

According to Dr. Buerhaus’ research, an estimated 84 million people in the United States do not have adequate access to primary care, and a disproportionate amount of these individuals live in rural areas. His research strongly suggests that reevaluating restrictions on nurse practitioners can help Americans gain greater access to primary care while easing the strain on public health insurance programs.
