Walgreen Does What Obama Promises

It seems that sometimes private enterprise does a lot more good then they are given credit for. I shop at Walgreens just about everyday to buy my lunch or snacks. Too bad there is no Take-Care clinic in that store.

Individuals must prove they are receiving or will receive government unemployment benefits in order to qualify for the free services, which are being offered weekdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. If a participant finds a new job or health insurance, that person and his or her family will no longer qualify.

Also Quest Diagnostics is chipping in with some freebies as well.

Quest Diagnostics Incorporated (NYSE: DGX: 47.31, 0.18, 0.38%), the world's leading provider of diagnostic testing, information and services, will provide strep and urine cultures and other select laboratory testing services for free to qualified patients served through the Take Care Recovery Plan, which is an offer, announced by Walgreens (NYSE, Nasdaq: WAG) and Take Care Health Systems, to provide free health care services at Take Care Clinics. The offer is available to qualified patients, including Take Care Clinic patients, and their immediate family members, who lose their job on or after March 31, 2009, and are uninsured. The offer runs through the end of the year.
