I am inclined to want to believe you but this free market stuff can sound just as utopian at times as socialism. I will ponder. Mike

I agree kholt.Doctors give out their free drug samples all the time to those in need.Its under the radar but its much more common than many people realize.You could say its even subsidized by big Pharma. Doctors and Dentists in my small midwestern community have organized a free clinic with great success.It makes sense for them, even if their intentions aren't that charitable. Rather than each medical professional having to deal with seperate problems, they now have an organized central clearinghouse that pools resources and takes the burden off of individual medical professinals to provide treatment to the needy. They take turns at the clinic and make a big to do about how great they are for their charity.Everyone wins in the end.Its been a great success.You have to wait on a long list to volunteer and help out!
