Ah yes Community Health Centers. I remember these from the 1980’s and “90’s. The Federal Government payed these Center a larger reimbursement than ordinalry Medicare payments to physicians. They were springing up all over the place. Many owned by hospitals. I worked at one for 2 weeks got 60.00 an hour and saw a total of 6 patients. All the Senators got to get one at least and the papers touted the gravy coming home. What a waste of MONEY. They built these in small towns of a feww hundred. And no they were less than 10 miles from a larger town and hospital. But, there was money to be made. WASTEFUL. Most are closed now in my neck of the woods anyway.
All but one of those 6 patients were cheerleaders getting their sports physical.
