They can’t even get nurse practitioners to do primary care!
And I love the rationalizations by the Cleveland Clinic, claiming they can’t fill their own rosters without stealing FMGs from the county hospitals.

On a separate note from the original Associate Press article: “The percentage of a program doctor’s patients who have Medicaid or Medicare coverage or who are uninsured must at least match those rates for the county’s population.” I predict that the more corrupt of our political ruling class will try this
ploy very soon, on all physicians.
