... but I got here as fast as I could (48 years ago), and I've been a patient with the same primary clinic for 38 years. But I know people who cannot get care because most practices won't take on any new patients.
The putrid stench of private equity pervades the healthcare landscape nationwide, and the Green Mountain State is not immune. Those people – and I use the term loosely – adopted their business model from the Mafia, and they're no different than those they chose to imitate; they just have better tailors, and employ lawyers instead of leg breakers.
