Dear Editor,

I applaud you and the concept of the new clinic. The for-profit health insurance companies are the main problems in the public accessing health care. But I presume that your clinic is not able to handle those that cannot afford the fee to belong to the clinic. In other words, the poor, and so many middle class families still cannot access care through your facility because they cannot afford it. Am I right? Ultimately, single payer, universal health care is the way to achieve fair and equitable access for all.
