OK here's the problem:
I'm broke, but I have a job. There is a possibility that I might have cancer, but there's no way for me to tell before I get a doctor to look at it and diagnose me. I live in California, and need to know what types of questions they ask if you go to a free clinic. Is there an income limit? In the end, do you need to compensate for the service? How is privacy affected? I just don't want to go in there and they say, "Sorry, you get paid too much." What information do I have to have prepared before I walk in there and request medical attention?

Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated.
