It’s an absolute disgrace that we still need this sort of thing, but Seattle Center is hosting a health fair this Sunday. If you need any of the services below, you can avail yourself.
As a part of The Next Fifty’s Global Health Month, a Health Fair will be conducted on July 15th, 2012 at Key Arena. The Health Fair will focus on the health of our communities by providing free health services to the general public.
Services include:
Dental
Screenings for diabetes and cholesterol
Vision and hearing
Mammograms
Physicals
Educational programs about nutrition and general health,
Much much more!
Republicans believe only the rich deserve health care, and if you’re poor, it’s because you’re immoral (not because dishonest banks, greedy corporations, union-busting GOP politicians, or cheap labor conservatives are immoral) and therefore deserve to be dead.
In a similar vein, apparently the military is providing healthcare to people in Alabama who can’t afford it.

They say it’s a good training opportunity but seriously we have to deploy military medical personnel in our own country so people can see a doctor or dentist. And some people can’t see how our health care system has failed?
I think there will always be the need for health fairs, if only for an informational purpose. But as a means of providing treatment, it’s a plan to use only if all other plans have already failed.
