As the goverment struggles on a comprise over health care, a local organization is making it simple.

"What we do is provide free healthcare to people with no insurance no medicare no medicaid," said Rolando Martinez the Executive Director of the Guadalupe Health Center in Brownsville.

Its a facility assembled by the Catholic Diocese of Brownsville who said they operate with one motto in mind: "What would Jesus do?"

Organizers said Jesus helped the injured and the sick.

At the Brownsville center, it's all about helping others at no cost at all.

Martinez said that although their main focus is on those living below the poverty level lately that focus has shifted.

"In the last two years our case load has pretty much doubled," Martinez said. "When you see the unemployment rate, I think in cameron county go from 6 to 11 percent --almost doubling that means theres a lot of people who need some sort of help be it health care or help period."

The director said those who recently lost their jobs suffer from depression and come seeking help but counseling isnt their only service.

"We're set up to see ongoing patients -- the diabetics the hypertensive -- those types of patients -- and we will help them with medications and we will help them with the lab and will provide them free healthcare," said Martinez.

On top of all this they also offer a complete pharmacy ready to fill prescriptions for no charge.

So while nationally Americans may struggle with health care, there may be a solution for those who may not be able to afford it here.
