if You're Truly Broke
If you believe you can't afford
health care insurance period,
Matthew Lesko has written a
guide on "What To Do When You
Can't Afford Health Care" )(In-
formation USA). He lists sources,
such as community clinics, where
you can get free treatment and
even hospitalization. He also sug-
gests that you might avail your-
self of clinical trials, funded by
government grants — become a
doctor's guinea pig and get treat-
ment for hundreds of ailments for
free.
"Government offices can help
you locate the best doctors and
help identify the most efficient
hospitals," Lesko offers.
He also lists sources for free
publications and books on thou-
sands of diseases.
But health insurance remains
an important safeguard for most
families. Do some homework and
study your choices to make sure
you're not paying more than you
need to, and that you're getting
the coverage that will give you
better sleep at night. 111

at the White House for avid jog-

prefers to do his morning runs
through the streets of the nation's
capital. George Bush also jogged.
Franklin Roosevelt, John
Kennedy and Gerald Ford all
swam to stay in shape. Harry
Truman walked two miles every
morning.
