Remote Area Medical provides free health care in U.S.
Remote Area Medical (RAM), founded by Stan Brock, is a foundation that provides free medical care to remote parts of the world—including the United States. For 20 years now, RAM has provided free medical service to people in Wise County, VA via an annual “health fair” set up at the Wise County Fairgrounds. RAM also operates a similar program in Los Angeles.
This is the very same fair that converted insurance industry executive Wendell Potter—at the time, an employee of CIGNA—to a believer in healthcare reform.
