Fabulous Freebie #2:
Free Clinical Trials

If you or a loved one suffer from an illness and don't have the funds or insurance to cover the additional expenses for special medications or treatments, you may qualify for a free clinical trial.

A clinical trial is a health-related research study in which patients are assigned an experimental treatment and their outcomes are then measured. Many such trials are completely free to the patient.

Check out the registry at ClinicalTrials.gov — there are currently more than 60,000 clinical trials across the country listed.
