In D.C., there's a price tag on space for free clinic

The Post reported ["Free clinic sponsor objects to District fee," Metro, Dec. 12] that the Washington Convention and Sports Authority wants to charge a charitable medical group for three days' use of the D.C. Armory to provide medical and dental care to impoverished residents -- no free lunches there.

And the D.C. Health Department has questioned the idea of providing the free medical and dental care for District residents -- because there is no plan for follow-up.

Right. Let them eat cake, too.
