Writing Medical Practice Business Plan. Market Analysis?

Question

I am writing a business plan. I am planning to start or rather acquire a urgent care practice within a year or so. I am stuck in the market analysis section of my plan.

Does anyone know a good website or other resource where can I find some market research info on urgent care medicine or medical practices in the united states?

I've searched and searched and have not been able to find much of anything and the few things that I have seen cost a considerable amount. My last resort would be to browse the book store although I was hoping to find some good info online.

Look forward to your replies

The majority of people think that Urgent Aid/Care facilities are a good thing.  Shorter wait times and quick access to care sounds great.  However, due to the laws enacted to protect those without the ability to pay for health care Emergency Departments must take care of people regardless if they can pay or not.  This creates a problem.  If the already strained Emergency Departments are running into debt because of the people who can not pay, they aren't going to be open when people who can pay are in traumas.
