Really? The clinic at my university is "free". They charge you a health fee ($85 is what I paid most recently), and it covers urgent care and regular doctor's visits. It does not cover specialty procedures or immunizations. They also have a program for free family planning services, which is funded by the state.
I also have health insurance, though--$95/mo., which isn't bad. If you DON'T have health insurance, I really recommend ehealthinsurance.com, that's where I got mine. They allow you to compare/contrast plans and premiums so you can choose the best one for you. I went with a plan that has a higher deductible but ER visits, doctor's visits, and urgent care visits all come with a cheaper copay.
