Montana's State-Run Free Clinic Sees Early Success

A year ago, Montana opened the nation's first clinic for free primary healthcare services to its state government employees. The Helena, Mont., clinic was pitched as a way to improve overall employee health, but the idea has faced its fair share of political opposition.

A year later, the state says the clinic is already saving money.


I found this very interesting. It is always nice to hear alternatives and have it work. Makes sense too.

I am curious at the cost and benefit of this as an experiment.
