“Remote Area Medical (RAM), a Tennessee-based charity that is completely privately funded, offers a glimpse of what voluntary health care might look like. The group treats all comers at free, weekend clinics dotted across the country. At a typical event, over a thousand patients arrive in the wee hours of the night to make sure they get a spot in line. Many drive for hours and sleep in their cars. But rather than welcome the organization, which operates at no cost to taxpayers, most state governments actively impede their efforts. Unfortunately, few states allow health workers licensed in other states to see patients—even when they are working for free.”
