Free Health Camp Will Cater To Thousands in Kansas
Seven people who went to the Little Rock clinic were so ill they were sent to emergency rooms.
The forthcoming Kansas clinic was thought up by two national television personalities who wanted to publicize the plight of people without health insurance and pressure wavering senators to support health care reform.
Heart surgeon Mehmet Oz partnered with the free clinic association for the Houston clinic. He featured the event on his syndicated TV show.
During an episode of his MSNBC show Countdown that focused on health care reform, left-of-center commentator Keith Olbermann mentioned the Houston clinic.
Then he urged viewers to donate to the free clinic association.
Wood said the free clinic association didnt know that Olbermann was going to make that pitch. But the promotion quickly raised about $1.5 million.
Kansas City was chosen for a clinic to illustrate how the problems of the uninsured extend deep into the heartland, Wood said.
