At once a heart-warming tribute to the unifying power of volunteerism and an exploration of a perennial outsider's search for meaning through giving of himself. This film is a challenging and inspirational tale of an unlikely man on an improbable yet unwavering mission to unite a nation and resolve one of the biggest social issues of our time: the US healthcare crisisABOUTStan Brock was an errant British adventurer who fled his stuffy public school at the age of 14 and boarded a ship bound for British Guiana, where he went on to become an Amazonian cowboy on the world's biggest cattle ranch. He was later discovered by a TV producer who brought him to the United States and turned him into an anaconda-wrestling wildlife TV star, featuring weekly on “Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom”. However, in 1985 Stan decided to forsake fame and wealth for a higher calling.Stan sold everything he owned and founded a small charity with the aim of bringing basic healthcare to people in the developing world, vowing never to take a salary for his efforts. Yet by 1992, Remote Area Medical had switched its focus to running relief missions closer to home. It now dedicates over 70 percent of its resources to providing free healthcare services to people in the most depressed regions of the US, where millions of uninsured can go for years without seeing a doctor or a dentist. To date, RAM has helped nearly 1 million people through the efforts of more than 172,000 volunteers.So who was this enigmatic Englishman, and why did he sacrifice everything to bring free healthcare to people in need? This feature-length documentary examines the shocking paradox of pop-up field hospitals in the world's most affluent nation, while recounting Stan Brock's extraordinary life story. It is a challenging and inspirational tale of an unlikely man on an improbable yet unwavering mission to unite a nation and resolve one of the biggest social issues of our time: the US healthcare crisis.

Bobbie Bratton -Clinical Executive, SaferCare Texas, UNT Health Science Center, is a board certified family nurse practitioner North Texas universities unite to provide free care to underserved and uninsured population HSC and Remote Area Medical to bring free, quality medical, dental and vision care to DFW.  Four prestigious North Texas universities are joining an initiative this year to provide free health care at a clinic offered by The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth and RAM®, a national nonprofit provider of free health clinics. HSC and RAM have partnered on the clinic for the past two years, and the Texas Christian University College of Nursing, Texas Woman's University, Texas A&M University School of Dentistry and The College of Health Care Professions all will send faculty and student volunteers to this year's clinic Nov. 4 and 5 in Fort Worth.  “It is a tremendous act of caring for our community when so many colleges and universities unify as one to serve,” said Jessica Rangel, HSC executive vice president of health systems. “We are entering the season of giving, and what better way to kick it off than this incredible collaboration?”  When recruiting medical volunteers, HSC pulls from its six colleges. But since the university doesn't have a dental program, finding dental volunteers has always been a challenge — until this year. TWU, Texas A&M and The College of Health Care Professions are sending their dental students and faculty to serve in the dental bays at RAM. The TCU College of Nursing also will be providing services where needed.  “Learning that numerous programs were eager to send dental and medical student volunteers in support of our clinic was moving,” Rangel said. “It's a powerful testament to our commitment to our mission: to create solutions for a healthier community.”  This is not Texas A&M's first RAM experience. This year will be the second time it has sent students and faculty.  “We love that our students are able to volunteer at RAM again this year,” said Angela Wilson, program coordinator at Texas A&M's School of Dentistry. “There is such a need beyond their community, and it's so important to us that they get to see it firsthand. We hope this collaboration with HSC and RAM will continue for years to come.” This year's clinic will take place at the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Ray I. Riley Center, 1701 W. Boyce Ave. in Fort Worth.  RAM will offer free dental cleanings, fillings and extractions; eye exams, glaucoma testing and eyeglass prescriptions with glasses made on-site; women's health exams; and general medical exams. RAM services are first-come, first-served, and no ID is required.  For more information about RAM's pop-up clinics or to volunteer at future clinics, visit www.ramusa.org, or call 865-579-1530.

Our guest today is Rebecca Wood. Rebecca lived all over Virginia before her relocation to Massachusetts. Rebecca worked with many organizations and offices on Capitol Hill. Her healthcare work includes rallies, protests, press conferences, and conventions. Most notable, she told her and daughter Charlie's story at the introduction of Senator Sanders' Medicare For All Act of 2017 and testified before the House Ways and Means Committee hearing on Pathways to Universal Coverage in June 2019 (Rebecca's statement begins about at about 18:10). Rebecca also regularly volunteers for Remote Area Medical, which provides access to healthcare for underserved communities and is active in the push for universal school meals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK1XiF5Rco4 Show Notes CW: Medical and dental trauma We don't usually start our podcasts with data or statistics, but last week Gallup released a shocking poll that clearly reflects a new reality for the country: 38 percent of Americans now say they put off medical treatment because of the cost sometime in the past year (2021). This is a HUGE leap over just a year ago, when only 26 percent of Americans were putting off care. Gallup has been conducting this poll for over 20 years, and this is the worst we have ever seen. Even more troubling, 26 percent say they put off treatment for “very serious” conditions or “somewhat serious” conditions, and THAT is another huge leap over just a year ago, when “only” 18 percent of Americans were putting off care for very serious or somewhat serious issues. We're now three years into the pandemic, and employment rates have improved. So what the fuck is going on here that our access to healthcare is now worse than during the height of the pandemic when the economy was shut down and there were no vaccines?!? Rebecca tells a story that illustrates how delayed care hurts American families. Ten years ago her daughter Charlie was born prematurely due to Rebecca's severe early onset pre-ecclampsia, a potentially deadly condition for both mom and baby. Charlie was in the Neonatal ICU for three months. Their family had "good insurance" through Rebecca's then-husband's employer. Over the next several years, like many micro-premies Charlie needed enormous amounts of care. They faced automatic denials, outrageous deductibles and huge copays from their insurance company. Due to the high out of pocket costs for Charlie's care, they went from being financially comfortable, to going through their savings, putting off their plan to buy a home, and living paycheck to paycheck. Even worse, Rebecca had to make choices between paying for her daughter's healthcare and her own. Like so many American parents, Rebecca put Charlie's needs first, sometimes rationing her own medications and eventually putting off an important dental procedure. That delayed dental procedure led to an infection that spread to her entire mouth and jaw, forcing her to the emergency room. Doctors feared the swelling could cut off her airway. After days in the hospital, Rebecca followed up with her dentist, where she had to have all of her teeth pulled and parts of her jaw scraped away. In 2017 when the Affordable Care Act came under attack, Rebecca feared repeal would make Charlie uninsurable due to preexisting conditions. So Rebecca became a vocal activist. She used her family's experience to call out the profound policy failure that has caused so many American families to suffer. The new Gallup Poll found: “In 2022, Americans with an annual household income under $40,000 were nearly twice as likely as those with an income of $100,000 or more to say someone in their family delayed medical care for a serious condition (34% vs. 18%, respectively). Those with an income between $40,000 and less than $100,000 were similar to those in the lowest income group when it comes to postponing care, with 29% doing so. Reports of putting off care for a serious condition...

In today’s first subscriber supported public service announcement, one person wants you to know about another community litter cleanup event in Albemarle, this time on October 30 in the southern part of the county. The latest Love Albemarle event will take place between 8:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. at sites in Esmont, Keene, Scottsville, and North Garden. Around fifty people showed up for a similar event in Esmont this past spring, and organizers want to double that amount. Organizer Ed Brooks is seeking to get children involved, so if you’re a parent or guardian and want to spend the morning cleaning up road-side litter, register now!On this installment of the program:More campaign finance numbers in advance of Election Day A preview of a film on Stan Brock, the founder of the Remote Access Medical CorpsThe Chickahominy River has elevated levels of forever chemicals known as PFASAnd a quick look at the wonderful world of wastewater can help track the scope of the PFAS problem Virginia flags will be at half-mast for the next 30 days to mourn the passing of former Governor Linwood Holton. Holton was elected in 1969 as the first Republican governor of the 20th Century, though he would later endorse Democratic candidates for statewide office. Holton was born in Big Stone Gap in 1923 and died at his home in Kilmarnock yesterday. (Wikipedia) While in office, Holton and his wife sent their children to public schools. Governor Ralph Northam noted that in a statement yesterday. “If you want to know what American strength looks like, look at the famous photographs of Governor Holton—smiling, as he walked his children to Richmond’s public schools during the tensest moments of desegregation,” Northam said. “He faced down Virginia’s demons and enabled this Commonwealth to look ahead.”In the most recent letter, we took a look at campaign finance for local candidates in Albemarle County, Charlottesville, and Nelson County. Election day is just a few days away. Today let’s look at House of Delegates races. Albemarle County currently has four different districts within it boundaries. Let’s start with the 25th House District, which stretches from Albemarle into Augusta and Rockingham Counties. Democrat Jennifer Kitchen is challenging incumbent Republican Chris Runion. Kitchen began the October reporting period with $108,930 on hand, raised an additional $29,673, and spent $37,189. Runion began October with $77,655, raised an additional $37,837, spent $39,320 in cash, and recorded $16,314 in in-kind donated expenses. The 57th District includes all of Charlottesville and some of Albemarle. Incumbent Democrat Sally Hudson began October with $29,158 on hand, raised $24,469, spent $7,482 in cash, and recorded $2,499 in in-kind expenses. Hudson’s Republican challenger, Philip Hamilton, began the month with $2,917 in the bank. He raised $495 and spend $1,468. The 58th District consists of eastern Albemarle, all of Greene County, and parts of Fluvanna and Rockingham counties. Incumbent Republican Rob Bell began October with $354,466 in the bank and raised $89,293 in the first three weeks of the month. Bell’s campaign spent $164,137 during the period and recorded $21,435 in expenses.  Bell’s challenger is Democrat Sara Ratcliffe. Ratcliffe began October with $14,035 in the bank and raised $48,668 in the period. She spent $28,618 in cash and marked $24,928 in in-kind expenses. Southern Albemarle is within the 59th District, which also includes portions of Appomattox, Buckingham, Nelson, and Campbell counties. Republican Matt Fariss is the incumbent and he began the month with $29,671 in the bank. His campaign raised $18,285 in the period and spent $38,201 in the first three weeks. Farris had $9,755 in the bank on October 21.His Democratic challenger Ben Moses began the month with $84,215 and raised an additional $102,505. Moses spent $76,789 in cash and recorded $61,231 in in-kind expenses. Moses has raised $603,138.01 during the campaign. (report)Independent Louis Scicli began October with $207, raised no money, and spent no money. Special thanks to the Virginia Public Access Project for their work in making this information accessible. Before the passage of the Clean Water Act in 1972, it would be commonplace for factories to discharge pollutants into rivers and streams without any consideration of the effect of the natural world. Nearly fifty years later, there is a system of permits and regulations in place to improve water quality. The Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority is working with certain industries in the community to pre-treat industrial waste before effluent is released into the ecosystem. Patricia Defibaugh is the laboratory manager for the RWSA.“The purpose of this program is to protect the sewer system and wastewater treatment plants through limits on industrial waste discharges,” Defibaugh said. “This is a requirement of the [U.S. Environmental Protection Agency] and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality.” This is part of the Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and an annual report is due to the DEQ by the end of every January. The goal is to remove as many fats, oils, greases as well as metals, nutrients, and acidity as possible by working with industries who create those waste products. “The ones we’re concerned with are the significant industrial user, and that’s either a categorial user which is metal finishing, or semiconductor manufacturers,” Defibaugh said. “Or non-categorical which discharge more than 25,000 gallons per day or had a potential to adversely affect our treatment processes.”The types of businesses of concern include restaurants, breweries, wineries, dentists, and dry cleaners. None of the breweries connected to urban water exceed the 25,000 gallon threshold. Gary O’Connell, executive director of the Albemarle County Service Authority, said there is a program that seeks to remove cooking oil from the wastewater process. “There’s an active [fats, oil, and grease] program that goes on,” O’Connell said. “I know in our case it’s about 260 grease traps that we inspect.On the more industrial level, the RWSA has three companies that are in the pretreatment program. These are Virginia Diodes, Mikro, and Northrup Grumman. For more information on this topic, visit Henrico County’s Industrial Pretreatment Program. PFAS concernsFifty years after the Clean Water Act, there are concerns about other pollutants that are not easily seen. In 2020, the Virginia General Assembly passed legislation requiring the Virginia Department of Health to study the level of polyfluorinated substances in drinking water (PFAS). These are chemical byproducts of the processes used to make non-stick cooking utensils, fire-fighting foam, food packaging, and other uses They are known as “forever chemicals” because they do not break down. The health effects are being studied. (CDC fact-sheet on PFAS). The industrial pretreatment work will be used to help identify the scope of the problem. “DEQ is going to be sending out a survey to Rivanna’s significant industrial users to confirm their use and manufacture of PFAS compounds,” Defibaugh said. Yesterday, the DEQ announced that elevated levels of PFAS have been found in the Chickahominy River. They found out from a report from the Newport News Waterworks (NNWW) and now the DEQ will work with the VDH to further study the issue.  “NNWW is continuing to monitor source waters in coordination with state agencies and has assured residents that the water it provides to its customers is safe to drink and has consistently shown PFAS levels well below the lifetime health advisory from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),” reads the press release. Last week, the EPA announced a national strategy will be undertaken to confront the PFAS problem. “EPA’s Roadmap is centered on three guiding strategies: Increase investments in research, leverage authorities to take action now to restrict PFAS chemicals from being released into the environment, and accelerate the cleanup of PFAS contamination,” reads a press release from that initiative. Next up, a quick Patreon-fueled shout-out!Fall is here, and with it, more moderate temperatures.

Listen NowOver 40 million Americans live in poverty or upwards of 14% of the population.  Those living in extreme poverty number 18 million and over 5 million live in absolute poverty.  The US also has the highest youth poverty rate among OECD countries.  This reality is made worse by the fact the US is the only highly developed country in the world that lacks universal health care coverage.   Despite passage of the ACA in 2010 that reduced the number of non-elderly uninsured from 44 million to 27 million by 2016, last week Gallup survey data indicated over the past four years seven million fewer Americans have health care insurance.  This finding is not unsurprising considering the administration's ACA regulatory actions over the past two years.  With a significant number of Americans impoverished and a recent decline in those covered, it is no surprise that Americans are forced to seek charity care.   During this 21 minute interview, Mr. Eastman explains why RAM was founded by Stan Brock in 1985, he describes RAM's upcoming clinic or "expedition" (RAM's 1,000th) this weekend in Knoxville.  More specifically he provides an overview RAM's patient population, the types of medical care RAM provides and who provides RAM care.   He also discusses how clinic sites are selected in the US and overseas and how the organization is funded.   (Over the past 34 years, RAM has served over 785,000 patients, via the volunteer efforts of over 135,000 clinicians and other volunteers, providing an estimated $785 million in free health care.) Jeff Eastman is currently the CEO or Remote Area Medical (RAM).  Previously, he spent 28 years employed by Altria sales and distribution.  He began volunteering with RAM in 2008 and in 2014 became a full-time employee.  In 2015 he was voted RAM's first ever CEO.  Jeff earned an Associate's Degree from the State University of New York at Canton, a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and a Master's of Business Administration from Lincoln Memorial University.  Jeff lives in Athens, Tennessee with his wife, Debbie.For more on RAM go to: https://www.ramusa.org/.  This is a public episode.

All too often, women's opinions are considered valuable only in certain situations: when there's a problem affecting women, when there's an opportunity to market to women, when there's a president that is a deeply reactionary sexual predator.

Spanning several decades as well as a variety of lengths, the 34 films in the series open up a free space for discussion of how issues of class, race, immigration, violence, crime, sex, or “just” being a housewife affect women.
