I wouldn't link that to money issue. Rather than that I would say: "When all you have is hammer, everything looks like nail". Surgeons try to solve all the problems, including changing a light-bulb, by surgery, psychiatrists by psychotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine adepts by acupuncture.
Right, which is why the GPs were such an undervalued cornerstone of the old fashioned medical system. They were the ones supposed to hold the big picture in mind, and to cousel their patients when the intervention of an specialist was needed.
Today, they have been turned into glorified technitians and the front end of a pipeline that leads to expensive and potentially unneed treatment. There's no wonder everything turns into hammers and nails when you keep busy your handymans holding the door open.
