As it should be. One of the few levers we have to control costs across the healthcare system is shifting much of routine primary and urgent care to PA/NP practitioners. I understand that might mean a loss of quality in some cases (have been on the receiving end of that myself) but we'll have to lower our expectations and be content with good enough.
