Introduction The United States is the only major industrialized nation without universal health insurance. Over the years the inequities in access to care, quality, and the rising cost has led many Americans to be uninsured or underinsured. During 2007 and 2008, one out of three Americans under 65 was without health insurance. 86.7 million Americans were uninsured from 2007 to 2008 (Pifer-Bixler, 2009). The Foundation of Medical Relief, Inc. FMR was developed to be 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our goal is to ensure every community member in the greater Kansas City Metro area is compliant with the ACA health insurance coverage mandate by January 2014. We try to keep the uninsured and underinsured healthy by providing access to high quality, affordable health insurance for uninsured and underinsured in the greater Kansas City, Missouri area. Kansas City saw an increase in the number of uninsured children. As U.S. poverty rate grew in 2009, 20 percent more people need health care help. The number of uninsured Americans was 49.9 million in 2010 (Stafford, 2011). Everyone is at risk of being uninsured (Families USA, 2009).
Therefore, we developed Foundation for Medical Relief, Inc. (FMR) with the vision as to foster and promote collaborative relationships; will develop partnerships with public and private health services agencies and the community in general enhance the administration of the health care act.

We are a company of six people who happen one day come up with an idea to open a medical relief company to help the
