Gaping holes remain in health care despite coverage gains

Clip: 11/4/2016 | 8m 41s

The nonprofit organization Remote Area Medical is attempting to fill voids in health care.

Dire dental problems and other health issues keep the nonprofit Remote Area Medical busy running free clinics, particularly in states that didn't expand Medicaid. Even after Obamacare, large coverage gaps still exist in the nation's health care system. Special correspondent Sarah Varney reports from southwestern Virginia, an impoverished region where many still turn to charity for basic needs.
