I don’t think i’ve ever written about anything local, which is pretty contrary to what i believe is important. So i wanted to take some time and highlight yet another reason why i love Bloomington. Geoff, fellow btown blogger, wrote a post last month about btown’s new free clinic! Btown already has one free clinic for wimmin, but this one is for anyone whose income is less than 200% of the federal poverty line. If you’re curious as to what that translates to, here’s a breakdown:

Persons in Household == Household Income
1 == $19,600
2 == $26,400
3 == $33,200
4 == $40,000
5 == $46,800
6 == $53,600
7 == $60,400
8 == $67,200

The clinic, started by Volunteers in Medicine of Monroe County, will serve as a primary and urgent care clinic.
