I doubt that PIH cares as much as it is pretending to do. I once requested to do some volunteer work in Haiti for you but you never replied, I wrote to PIH a second time but you snubbed me. I am Haitian and I guess that I am not as worth as the Harvard grad students to my country. Oh , no, the American kids can help you ask for money on behalf of the Haitian people. I wonder what you friend Arisitde might be saying now.

What does “human right” even mean? Something we are entitled to because we exist? I believe you have a right to procure healthcare from another if you have the means to do so. If you do not, then certainly it could be given to you as a charity but not a right. I believe free healthcare to the poor is a charity we should support! However, I believe the individual should not be coerced into doing so via taxation, rationing, or other means. Support worthy charities.

We need to stand up to injustice and people who have their priorities completely messed up, like cdm 1972. To lose sight of helping people who are in need simply because they were born into poverty is the greatest human tragedy. Some have numbed themselves to sympathy and empathy for those in desperation. We cannot worry about politics when it effects lives. Thank you, Paul Farmer, for inspiring us to change our views and change our world.

So you believe in slavery?

If health care is a right I can claim that a doctor is infringing on my rights by not taking care of me.

You’re too God damned stupid to realize that you’re saying that you believe that you have the right to a portion of another persons life!

Fucking liberals just don’t get how truly backwards they are. They claim they’re for freedom, but will prey like vultures on every last corpse of good in this country till there’s nothing left.

Luckily we live in a world where there are millions of people that are willing to provide health care to others. So, even if some people have the view that “universal health care will enslave physicians,” fortunately we live in a world where potentially we could have universal health care if we organized our resources responsibly.

I think you are strongly misinterpreting his goal, or message. You are telling him what he is saying when he clearly doesn’t mean what YOU are accusing him of saying. You clearly just have something against Liberals or Whatever it may be, but you are missing the point that he has helped many people and have saved many lives. He just means that when a person is in need of health care he or she should recieve it, thats all, and most of his income goes to helping those in poverty in haiti.
