The LA Forum, the arena that once hosted sell-out Madonna concerts, has been 
  transformed – for eight days only – into a vast field hospital. In America, 
  the offer of free healthcare is so rare, that news of the magical medical 
  kingdom spread rapidly and long lines of prospective patients snaked around 
  the venue for the chance of getting everyday treatments that many British 
  people take for granted.

  organisation. To many US medical professionals, it offers a rare opportunity 
  to plug into the public service ethos on which their trade was supposedly 
  founded</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4C615D72-F4F5-4424-B5C1-72739205F7E5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
