Walgreens To Offer Free Health Care

The Obama Effect hits Walgreens. But what do you do when you HAVE a job and can't afford halthcare?

Drugstore operator Walgreen will offer free clinic visits to the unemployed and uninsured for the rest of the year, providing tests and routine treatment for minor ailments through its walk-in clinics - though patients will still pay for percriptions.

Walgreen said patients who lose their job and health insurance after March 31 will be able to get free treatment at its in-store Take Care clinics for respiratory problems, allergies, infections and skin conditions, among other ailments. Typically those treatments cost $59 or more for patients with no insurance.

What the article fails to mention though:

1) you must have applied for or be receiving unemployment benefits, AND

2) you, your spouse/same-sex domestic partner, OR you or your spouse/same-sex domestic partner's dependent child (18 months through 18 years of age) MUST HAVE received services at a Take Care Clinic PRIOR TO the date of your employment termination.
