Nonprofit fills dental and vision care gaps left by U.S. insurance system

RAM, a nonprofit organization, operates a healthcare program addressing gaps in U.S. medical insurance coverage, particularly for dental and vision care. CEO Chris Hall reports that millions of patients lack access to or cannot afford these treatments despite having insurance. The organization's work reveals a structural failure in the American health system where basic preventive care remains unaffordable for insured populations. RAM's model demonstrates that private nonprofit intervention is filling a public health responsibility that the insurance industry and government have not addressed.
