Problem

• Even in times of national prosperity, too many
  Americans do not have easy access to quality
  healthcare and other basic services. When the
  economy slows, this becomes even more of a
  problem
• Everyone sees the problem, but nobody seems to
  know what to do about it.

Solution

• The Cents to Care Foundation, Inc. is a private,
  non-profit organization, funded perpetually by a
  secure endowment, designed to operate a
  nationwide network of state-of-the-art clinics
  providing services to those who could not
  otherwise afford them.

I thought the government took care of this

• While there are assistance programs such as
  Medicare and Medicaid to help some people, there
  are many working American families who can
  neither afford health insurance nor qualify for
  these assistance programs.

6

• An estimated 12 million of these patients are
  children.
