| I am writing this from an Internet Cafe here in Antigua. The keyboard is much different in the U.S. To answer your question, I will know more next week, but judging from what I have seen in the hospital so far, there are many who have no care at all. Yesterday 300 people showed up in a village to receive care, with capacity only to treat 100. There is much poverty here so there are many without health care. The rich (or more rich, it is relative) do have care, but lab samples get run to the lab by family members, etc. I know this first hand because we are staying with a family that lives behind a beauty shop that they run, and their father had something wrong (unclear whether it is heart, or infection, probably heart) and I did a quickie assessment. These are my first impressions, I ll tell you more next week.
