[quote=Anonymous]Some [url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/poor-sick-and-still-traveling-long-distances-for-health-care-in-dc/2017/09/19/e32201c0-9d3e-11e7-9083-fbfddf6804c2_story.html]highlights[/url]: - Only 25% of DC residents east of the river see their primary care physician in their own neighborhoods. - To keep UMC afloat until then, the mayor hired the consulting firm Veritas. A Washington Post analysis discovered that the founders of the firm, hired at $300,000 a month by the city, were contributors to the mayor’s political campaign and that consultant fees have been rising under the no-bid contract to stanch financial losses at the medical center. - The city has said that it handles more than 200 [911] calls a day from city residents who need medical care but are not experiencing life-threatening crises.[/quote]
