    None of those were in range of where I lived. Someone who lived near me and couldn’t afford anywhere else would probably have an hour walk. Hope they don’t bleed out on the way.

    And again- free clinics generally don’t maintain people’s cancer medication, let alone give them radiation or chemotherapy. Many poor people with cancer just die from it because they can’t afford cancer care. And that is true of a lot of other illnesses too. You need kidney dialysis? No free clinic for that. You have diabetes? Hope you can afford the insulin.
