Free Medical Clinic

For 175 million dollars a year, I can create a free medical clinic in any community that will provide free basic and intermediate medical, dental and vision care to 10,000 - 20,000 people a year.

This free medical clinic would be staffed by volunteers and military medical personnel as training for their military career, for pre-deployment training and annual Reserve training.

This 175 million dollars would provide for operating expenses, equipment costs and insurance as well as full pay for some personnel medical specialties and a stipend for others.

A free medical clinic would reduce health care costs in the local area as well as providing basic and intermediary health care for those individuals currently without health care.

Advanced health care would require the services of a full service hospital. An additional 50 million dollars would probably cover the costs of this advanced health care.
