About 300 health care facilities nationwide are obligated to provide free or reduced-cost care (called Hill-Burton Facilities). You must apply for assistance at the facility. There are no facilities in Alaska, Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, Rhode Island, Utah, or Wyoming, and all US territories except Puerto Rico. You can find a list of the facilities at: http://www.hrsa.gov/gethealthcare/affordable/hillburton/facilities.html
