The key to getting overall medical care for free is to pick up on a Medicaid card.

You can apply at any metropolitan hospital. After filling out a long form and waiting three weeks you’ll get your card in the mail. Have a good story when interviewed about why you’re not working or only making under $2900 a year.

There is an age limit in that only folks over 21 can qualify, but the rule is liberally enforced and younger people can get the card with the right hardship story.
