Every time I get the chance I liked to mention what Remote Area Medical is doing. They have had two free clinics in the Los Angeles area and have helped some really needy people and these are not just the unemployed either. There are people who are working that need care and don’t have insurance...

You can take a look here and base your own opinions. These are the same companies that invest millions in technologies at the blink of an eye, but when it comes time for charity, to me anyway, it looks pretty slim. Granted all the donations to Haiti are badly needed and appreciation for every...

Now that Remote Area Medical has left the Los Angeles area, this is a good time to listen to Larry King’s interview. They did a lot of good here and we hope they come back soon. This was a huge undertaking and Stan Brock and the volunteers who made this possible were great. After watching...

In today’s update the video from CBS shows local government employees being taken care of, one with a $1000.00 co-payment for her child which she could not afford for a two week check up.
