LA's Continuing Medical Crisis

As a bush pilot in the Amazon Basin, Stan Brock first saw the suffering of people without access to medical services. He started Remote Area Medical to provide service in developing countries. Since 1992, he's also been focused on the United States, where the same problem exists. Since last Tuesday, Remote Medical Services has been at the Sports Arena in downtown Los Angeles. Today's the last day. We speak with Brock and other caregivers about the ongoing need for affordable medical care.
