A "free medical care week" in Louisiana

January 28, 2007

People started lining up at 2 am the night before:

Hundreds of people still without health insurance in areas hard-hit by Hurricane Katrina lined up before dawn Sunday for the start of a weeklong event offering free medical care.

Bundled up against the chilly wind, people began arriving at 2 a.m. outside the tents and doublewide trailers offering free care in eastern New Orleans. By the time the first 50 had been called into the registration tent, they numbered in the hundreds.

So they have found a way to make medical care that doesn’t cost anyone anything?

Charity starts at home. You don’t have to go to Africa or Latin America to find the downtrodden who need help.
