Help Your Members With Free or Affordable Health Care

The national discussion related to affordable health care discussion seems to be all the rage today. A little secret . . . there is already free or affordable health care available to anyone who needs it.

Train your front-line people or collection people to listen to your members. Are they having financial problems due to health care costs? Right from the Federal Health Resources and Services Administration Site:

Federally-funded health centers care for you, even if you have no health insurance. You pay what you can afford, based on your income.

Health centers provide:

checkups when you're well
treatment when you're sick
complete care when you're pregnant
immunizations and checkups for your children
dental care and prescription drugs for your family
mental health and substance abuse care if you need it

Click on the link to the FHRSA, input the address, and find a nearby health center. It's easy, and you might just save a life, or maybe a bellyache, possibly a toothache.
