A doctor has been serving one of Baltimore’s poorest neighborhoods for decades — and if his patients can’t pay, that’s OK with him.
So when he was diagnosed with cancer, his community rallied to raise $100,000 for his treatments.

For decades, a doctor refused to charge patients who couldn't pay. When he couldn't pay, his patients came to his aid.
When Dr. Michael Zollicoffer was diagnosed with two types of cancer, his patients started a crowdfunding campaign that raised more than $100,000.

New billboard in Clacton, Farage’s constituency. He’s still the UK’s #1 grifter. No other MP takes more from second jobs while being employed to represent their constituents in Parliament

Social care reforms delayed again.
Need:
Integrated healthcare system.
Universal healthcare funded out of general taxation.
End to privatisation. 30% -40% of public money handed to corporate controlled care homes vanishes in profits. Tax abuse rife. Money buys less.
