Thanks for explaining. Understanding how to efficiently and effectively help is probably one of the most important problems, so kudos for taking a crack at that.

Did anyone else notice that most of the organizations that are facilitating these treatments seem to be Watsi clones, or at least very similar in spirit?

This makes me worry that this is not direct donation, but through one or more layers of brokering.

Thanks, can you help get this question to him when he gets back? At a first glance, it seems that a substantial population of potential entrepreneurs are unable to participate, as the permanent resident/green card process is backlogged by many years. The new JOBS act (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumpstart_Our_Business_Startups...) might help, but it might require somebody with the clout and resources of YC to push the envelope and unlock a world of possibilities.
