No Cost Health Care

[Sanslines]

This organization was founded to provide no cost health care (including medical, dental, vision, veterinarian care) to those in third world countries who either have no access to health care or can not afford it. Lately, this organization has been expanding operations in the USA for the purpose of providing health care to those who can not afford it. Our broken health care system seems to be able to only provide health care to those who can afford it or those on medicare. The working poor generally do not qualify for medical assistance and hence the need for an organization such as this. If you are in need (or know or someone who is in need) of such health care, then feel free to contact this organization to find out when clinics will be near you. If you are able to afford to contribute to this organization, please consider doing so.

There is an excellent report on the same organization on last Sunday's 60 Minutes TV show, which can be seen on its website:

It was certainly an eye-opener for this Canadian. We take our national health care system for granted here.

I saw that piece on 60 Minutes the other day. It is shameful that such a wealthy and powerful country needs to rely on this type of service.

It was also an eye-opener for this Canadian.

It is a shame but it is also the current reality in the USA. Instead of the usual denials or ignoring of a very serious problem, it is nice to see a group of people actually do something to help the situation. The bottom line with the broken health care system in the USA is that it is due to apathy of people. The real tragedy from all of this is that no matter how many people will get sick or die from lack of health care (preventative or not) not much will be said about it and it will be business as usual. Unless more people wake up, speak out, get involved, and demand change, nothing will change. No politician will stick their necks out unless the people are behind the politicians to support the necessary changes.
