i can't believe there are no comments. What a sad state. I guess we really do live in the "I have got mine" era.

America......running scared from liberal socialism straight into the arms of a corporate plutocracy. You're like turkeys constantly voting for Christmas.

I went to the local RAM expedition here in Clinton, Tennessee, this past weekend. I was given an eye exam, as I needed a new pair of glasses, and I learned that I have early signs of cataracts. I received my new pair of glasses that very same day.

I will do my best to help this man - Stan Brock - and his Remote Area Medical organization. Somehow, I will help them. Just as a way of saying "Thank you, RAM".

What a man, i remember watching a doc. on him in the UK. This is what helping people means. I am a nurse and i would be an honour to volunteer for R.A.M.

America please look after your own. These people made you. Look after them. Everyone is someone mother/father/daughter/son.

@ebiekem well our tax dollars in america do go for healthcare to some extent. Its not there is no money spent on it. Also look at all the money america spends providing medical care to other parts of the world. Look at how much money bush gave africa. That was our tax money. American tax money has also been funding the protection of europe for 65 years. This has allowed europe to spend very little on their own militarys.
