I am very pleased that you have addressed the convenience barrier to good health care. Too few commentators focus on it. In my Blog, http://www.mikecritelli.com, I discuss it as well. There are two fundamental issues with increasing convenience, one of which you identified, state regulations that limit the number and location of primary care facilities. The other is the shortage of primary care providers. States routinely focus too much on the coverage issues relative to health care and insufficiently on how to increase the supply of primary care providers. It takes a long time and no individual state can solve the problem of a doctor shortage, but every state can make it more attractive for individuals to pursue nursing careers, and get licensed as nurses and nurse practitioners in states. We need to address the convenient access problem if we are going to make people healthier and bring costs under control.
