Somehow we have created a system of health care where it is not easy for physicians and health care professionals to choose to live in rural areas, and it has taken Government programs to meet the crisis need. I wish we could figure out a way to incentivize it so a person who might like to live in a small town could practice medicine there and make a decent living and have a nice life. Somehow we have not done that effectively. That is the reason we have felt the need to create these clinics with Government support.
