[edit] United States

I've added a disambiguative phrase to distinguish that a "free clinic" is an American concept (or at least only a sensible concept in countries that don't have universal health care). In Canada, for instance, all health-care clinics are free. If there are other countries that use the term as it's defined here, by all means add them in or edit appropriately.

[edit] It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Clinic

See tag on article page.

Disagree with merge The free clinic and its movement is an article that could stand on its own. More can be added. Petersam 09:42, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

second disagreement despite universal health care coverage in canada and france, free clinics still exist in these two countries, and most likely in other countries with national health care. free clinics in these other countries often serve migrant workers, immigrants, homeless persons or addicts - a free clinic article should definitely stand alone alidamaria
