“I know the service delivery system is not there [east of the Anacostia River] in ways it is in other parts of the city,” D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray said last week as he introduced Dr. Mohammad N. Akhter as the new-old director of the Department of Health. “[The problem] isn’t about access. It isn’t about availability. It’s less about health care coverage,” Gray continued. “We have to be able to change health care behaviors.”
In other words, the city’s new mayor is from the force-the-horse-to-drink-school. Good luck with that.
