Menino Maligns Profit
Friday, January 11th, 2008

In-store health care services offer cheap primary care, ease the burden on emergency rooms, and help people who can’t afford health insurance–or who have insurance but can’t find a decent primary care physician. They also boast stratospheric customer satisfaction ratings.

So why is idiot Boston Mayor Thoma Menino against them? Because they’re driven by profit!

The decision by the state Public Health Council, “jeopardizes patient safety,” Menino said in a written statement. “Limited service medical clinics run by merchants in for-profit corporations will seriously compromise quality of care and hygiene. Allowing retailers to make money off of sick people is wrong.”

I lived in Boston and the surrounding area for 11 years. Profit-as-evil is as ingrained in the culture as rude driving.
