I am sorry to see these places closing too. I was recently charged by the hospital, about $14,000 for an angiogram (once they finished unbundling and double/triple charging me for everything) I was told that I had an entrapped artery. I went in for surgery and instead of what they told me, I had an aneurysm the size of a fist behind my knee. I would rather pay much less for the wrong diagnosis or perhaps I would have had the right diagnosis with a CT or MRI.
I am all for deregulating health care.

There is always a price to pay for good health care. Pay 'for' health care. . .;or with your health; in too many instances.
I do think these clinics will be back; but sorry for the losses so far generated and the closings. If the Medical establishment had supported them. . .then the Insurance Companies would have as well, I think.
But given the now territorial battles going on for the 'patient' and the 'patient dollar'. . as well as the exclusivity of the medical 'establishment'. . ..not sure they had a chance.
Although, I really thought they did have one. Too bad.
