Philanthropy That Works

Dr. Wyne's actions are indeed commendable, but such heroic actions do nothing to solve the overall problem of health care in this country. In an advanced country like ours, health care is a basic human right and should not be provided as an act of charity. You claim that "best care" is provided free to the un - and under-insured? Does best care extend to hospitalization? Does best care include access to drugs? Does best care include access to rehabilitation services? What happens if a patient needs access to a neurologist? Does Dr. Wyne provide that also?

I would be more interested to know who died in SI because he/she was deprived of adequate access than who was saved due to the heroic actions of Dr. Wyne.

All the best.
