What I can argue is that no one should have to die of a disease that is treatable.

You can't have public health without a public health system. We just don't want to be part of a mindless competition for resources. We want to build back capacity in the system.

Again, conventional Catholicism does not much appeal to me.

I critique market-based medicine not because I haven't seen its heights but because I've seen its depths.

I can't think of a better model for Haiti rebuilding than Rwanda.

We want to be on the winning team, but at the risk of turning our backs on the losers, no, it is not worth it. So we fight the long defeat.

For me, an area of moral clarity is: you're in front of someone who's suffering and you have the tools at your disposal to alleviate that suffering or even eradicate it, and you act.
