For us un-insured, here is a great free/low cost clinic finder page.
Federal funded clinics still exist, in fact are plentiful.

Here are 2 sites where you can find one in your area.
Very much worth it, they use sliding fee scale.
One site also has info. on how to get free scripts.

I have used the one in my area, they are fully staffed with caring doctors who chose to work in under-served areas.

4. Thanks for posting
I will bookmark and keep it handy. I have insurance, but there are some to which I can pass this on.

6. There may be some things you would rather pay for out of pocket
instead of insurance.
And, the clinics can and do use insurance, it is a nice way to support them if you feel so inclined.

8. I think in our area they only serve people on Medi-Cal or with kids.
Plus, I own a business, so I have assets (technically speaking, lol, but last year had virtually no net income on paper, just incurred a mountain of debt) and probably don't qualify for services.
