Yes, February was Heart Month (among other things) and Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn participated by offering free heart health screenings to the general public. Having taken around $3 million and counting from taxi drivers for a bogus health plan that does not exist, opportunist liar Bhairavi Desai run to try to make it look as though this service was her doing and for taxi drivers as such. Despicable, and assisted by the New York Taxi and Limousine Commission. They cannot get away with ripping off the drivers six cents a ride like it or not for no services forever.
