Dozens stay the night in their cars to get into free clinic in Maryland.
Eight miles from the U.S. Capitol, patients waited to get medical, dental and vision care in a political season punctuated by affordability issues.
The clinic last month was organized by Remote Area Medical (RAM), a Tennessee-based nonprofit that says it has provided free health care to more than a million patients over its 40-year history.
...
In recent years, the organization has branched out into urban and suburban areas
Many thanks to Remote Area Medical and all the medical volunteers.
