International Health Charity Fills Need in US

Believe it.

Remote Area Medical typically serves those in desperate need of health care in developing countries.

It turns out that there's a huge need here at home.

Their recent weekend outreach in Knoxville, Tennessee treated almost 1,000 people in need, and had to turn away 400 due to the overwhelming response.

I'd hate to see how bad it needs to get before we do something meaningful in health care reform, instead of the watered-down versions in some places (Mass, Colorado).
