We caught up with Remote Area Medical just as they were loading out from this weekend's expedition in Blount County. Ron Brewer, Director of Tennessee Operations for Remote Area Medical, recaps the free clinic for uninsured and underinsured:
If you would like to help Remote Area Medical bring free medical, dental, and ophthalmology services to America's working poor, uninsured, and underinsured, you can make a donation here.
In Tennessee between 2000-2006, the report said, more than 3,600 people 25-64 years of age died as the result of a lack of health insurance. Uninsured people are 25 percent more likely to die prematurely than adults with private insurance.
