The best he could. He refuses to ask his family for help because his family is poor and and as far as I know, has never asked much of anything from anyone, particularly money. He does odd jobs and menial work and scrapes by but it’s a sad situation. The ability to go to a doctor
Should be a right of all humans. Conservative or liberal, left or right should be united in the moral conviction that no one should suffer needlessly. We have the means, every other developed nation does this better than us. It’s time for real change and let’s get busy doing the right thing.
