Entrepreneur helps uninsured in Mexico

About 50 million Americans have no health coverage right now, and it seems like nothing can be done about it. The same number of people have no health care insurane in Mexico, but its citizens are taking a different approach. In Mexico, a man named Victor Gonzalez has opened non-profit clinics, complete with pharmacies next door. And he sells generic drugs that he makes himself. The people can see a doctor at the clinic without having insurance and they can buy drugs at his pharmacies for much less than what they'd pay at a brand name pharmacy. And, reports show the drugs are perfectly safe and effective. It’s a one-stop shop for people who normally would never be able to see a doctor or have access to the medicines they need. The clinics are doing so well that Gonzalez is up to 2,500 stores in Mexico, Guatemala and Argentina. And 800,000 Mexicans are going to his clinics each month. Maybe we should take a hint from Victor!

Yes, I just can't afford a plane ticket and/or hotel room right now.
No, I've saved up all year just to get away for a bit.
Maybe, I have to wait and see how my finances pan out.
