Doctors push law on clinics in stores | Chicago Tribune

Doctors push law on clinics in stores Chicago Tribune

Another reason why we need health reform. Many retail chains such as Walgreen's, CVS Pharmacy and Wal-Mart have clinics inside their stories. These clinics are staffed by Nurse Practitioners and Physician's Assistants. The Illinois State Medical Society believes that patients are at risk because these centers are not staffed with doctors. Although Illinois State Medical Society may feel it is protecting patients, many of the patients who go to these clinics cannot afford health insurance.
