Wow, Obama Fixed Healthcare!

Walgreens Offers Free Healthcare For Those With Recent Job Loss

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 prescriptions.

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.

Boom. They already offer a 90 day supply of generics for $12, and $59 nurse appointments for us poor folks who are employed and insured. Wal-Mart and CVS will probably pile on this as well. No gub'mint, no new taxes, no market distortions.
