Free food. Check. Non-paid unbiased bi lingual volunteers. Check. 250,000 uninsured locally. Check. Provide free healthcare. Check. Result = 70 attendees.
I see the future of the exchanges, and it ain't pretty. Looks like a PCIP redux. Our leader feels that everyone wants coverage. But, most of the uninsured don't want insurance before the illness/accident. Looks like insurance is still sold.

Organizers hope South L.A. healthcare initiative expands - latimes.com
Inside the Fremont High School gymnasium, orange-shirted volunteers offered guidance on the type of health insurance available to Sencion, her husband and three of her children, none of whom currently has coverage.
Sencion was one of roughly 70 who showed up at the event, staged to inform residents about the patchwork of healthcare programs provided by the county, the state and the Affordable Care Act, President Obama's healthcare reform law. That tepid response discouraged organizers, who said South Los Angeles hasmore than 231,000 uninsured.
Coordinators of the health fair had 150 breakfasts, 200 lunches and 300 bags of healthful groceries available to attendees.
