YOUNG VOICES

Lining Up for Free Healthcare
by Tamika Thompson


 

About 8,000 people with little or no health insurance waited in long lines in Los Angeles to receive free healthcare. The event was created by Remote Area Medical (RAM), a nonprofit that began in 1985 to bring free health services to the world's inaccessible areas. Today, more than 60% of RAM's work serves rural America.

Check out video from our Web team's visit to RAM's recent event. Also make sure to catch Tavis' interview with Stan Brock this Friday, August 21.

Also leave a comment on what kind of healthcare reform you'd like to see.
