Just as Boston is overcoming it’s image of blowing it…

Boston Mayor Thomas Menino is working overtime to prevent the opening of in-store health clinics that offer affordable treatments for minor illnesses. You read that right. You can read more here. This is from a Mayor who claims that “Boston is known internationally for our innovations in healthcare…”

I guess as long as the innovations are not done by the market place, which gets us to the nub of this Mayor’s puzzling stance:

“Allowing retailers to make money off of sick people is wrong.”

You see, the city of Boston provides clinics. He simply doesn’t want the competition. How’s that for serving your people?
