How can New York have uninsured citizens and citizens with no doctors? They have the highest Medicaid spending in the United States, guaranteed issue community rated insurance, and Healthy New York.
We in Colorado have been assured by people from State Coverage Initiatives (a Robert Wood Johnson initiative) that Healthy New York is a program that we would do well to emulate. Guess that spending all that money is supposed to make us feel better even though it goes straight down a number of government ratholes without, apparently, doing much to reduce the measures that the left uses for system performance.
This must be what happens when shopping therapy degenerates into spending therapy.
I'm shocked, shocked that primary care physicians oppose these clinics!! I think a smart guy had this figured out 231 years ago:
"People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. … But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary."
