[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 598409, member: 11791"] OK, so I'm in Canada where we all - at least officially - have insurance. But not everyone has "access" - same outcome as not having insurance. One of the ways they "solve" that here, is to have "teaching clinics" that work out of under-serviced areas. Most of the staff are upper-years students in health-care fields (BSN, medical doctors in training, Occupational Therapist (OT), PT, etc.), with oversight by qualified practitioners who are also the "teachers" for the students. The schools pay for the clinics - physical space, equipment, supplies - because there is no better training than real life experience. ANYONE can go there for services, whether you live in the area or not. It becomes self-restricting, though, because by being set up in less-desirable areas (smaller towns, or lower-income neighborhoods), the only people who show up are those who are having trouble getting help through normal channels.
