I am working with a local MD who runs a free clinic. He treats 6000+ patients a year for a total cost of $163,000 for staff salaries rent etc. He provides basic Dr visits, Rx, xray & lab and all but in hospital charges are covered. He has a very cost efficient way to cover the uninsureds. We are exploring a way to open this to small employers to help defray costs. Certainly beats a government run program on cost and efficiency.
