I find these complaints silly.
1. If hygiene is a concern, then just ensure that these limited service clinics are up to the health code mandated for other such places. Hell, CVS runs pharmacies - unless those CVS pharmacies in Boston are not meeting health standards I don't see why he needs to worry about clinics that only treat minor problems.
2. Quality of care lowered? It's not like these places are treating cancer. For stuff like sore throats, headaches, poison ivy, etc. I don't see what they'd do differently from my regular physician for that - say "AH", stick out your tongue, let me take your temperature, let me check your heartbeat. Ok, done, here's a prescription. Seems pretty hard to lower quality of care for that kind of thing given how simple care is for that.
3. A retailer can't make a profit on sick people? I don't see why not, as mentioned they and many others already do! As I said, CVS runs pharmacies - THEY ALREADY MAKE MONEY OFF OF SICK PEOPLE, THEY SELL MEDICINE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
