TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA - AUGUST 02: Patients wait for care at a Remote Area Medical (RAM) mobile dental and medical clinic at Terre Haute South High School on August 02, 2025 in Terre Haute, Indiana. More than a thousand people are expected to seek free dental, medical, and vision care at the two-day event in Terre Haute, which has a poverty rate of over 25 percent. Non-profit organization RAM provides free medical care through mobile clinics in underserved, isolated, or impoverished communities around the country and world. As healthcare continues to be a contentious issue in the U.S., an estimated 27 million people — or 8.3 percent of the population — are uninsured, according to a report from the Census Bureau, with the rate considerably higher in rural and poorer parts of the country.
