The NLM produce Medline as a quasi-commercial product (albeit heavily 
subsidised).  Access to Medline through the NLM system has always been one 
of the cheapest routes to Medline online.  A number of other 
commercial systems (Dialog, Datastar, BRS) also provide access but at a 
higher price.  You will not find free access to Medline on the Internet 
(except by mistake :-).  Your best bet is to contact your Univ library and 
enquire whether they can provide you with Medline access via the Univ 
network.
