No, they're just chop shop clinics in someone's backyard. There's a guy I know who's basically living off welfare, he's needed several procedures; none of which he paid for.

The first one was an emergency appendicitis at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where they waived the fee entirely and then later pancreatitis at some 'health clinic' where it was free because of his financial situation.

Having a cancerous mole removed is not brain surgery, he's not going to die if he truly can't afford health insurance.

The doctors at those clinics are board certified and trained just as any doctor, (by law).
