Paul Farmer/Partners in Health--health care as a human right
Dr. Farmer is truly an admirable person. I strongly agree with him that health care should be a right to everyone. Unfortunately, it has been made into an industry seeking profit, making universal health care impossible to achieve. Dr. Farmer definitely possesses the four cardinal virtues that Kaufman writes about in his book. If we all acquire love, humbition, honesty, and courage, then the world will be a better place to live in, due to people making similar moral decisions.
