Walgreen’s has decided to offer free health care to anyone who has lost their job and is uninsured at their 340 Take Care Clinics.  This is a great way for people to get used to using a nurse practitioner instead of a doctor.  Prescriptions are not covered under this offering.

It has been over a year since I first talked about the advantages of nurse practitioners and the amazing cost savings.  I will be going through a job change in the next few months and this will put my family on a health savings account style of insurance.  I will soon be searching for a good nurse practitioner to take care of all the little stuff instead of going into a doctor.
