One Response to Paul Farmer: health as a human right

  1. Linda Whinery Wolf says:

    This would be a great talk, based on the book, from the healthcare committee. Would be valuable hearing another option that is getting great results.

    Why not a member of the committee to present this one to our community. I think it would be best coming from a doctor or nurse, etc
