Abstract
The 2000s was mostly a lost decade for reform of the health care delivery system. Among the few significant innovations was the retail medical clinic, where individuals could receive basic health care at posted prices without appointments, typically from nurse practitioners or physician assistants. Most retail clinics were associated with chain drugstores, supermarkets, or other "big box" retailers. This short article describes the implications of the retail clinic model for US health policy and health care reform. It is no longer available from the online journal in which it originally appeared.
