Tuesday, March 02, 2010 :::
Taranto might put among his "bottom stories of the day" the announcement that a doctors' association opposes competition with its members: (both links in the blockquote are pdfs)clinics treated these patients at lower cost than traditional health providers, specifically, $50-$60 cheaper per treatment, and they serve a population that is currently underserved by primary care providers. Other studies, which I can’t find right now, have shown no difference in treatment quality between retail clinics and traditional caregivers. So if retail clinics are treating common illnesses, at lower cost, with the same quality, what is the problem? Labels: big labor, Health Care
