My wife had severe swelling in her legs, hands, and feet. We took her into a walk-in clinic because we wanted to see a doctor right away with no appointment. We did not know it, but the clinic mostly served medicare patients.

My Daughter Could Only Get Medicaid When She got Pregnant

Patricia
Amsterdam, NY
Heathcare Status: Employer Insured
