I guess his 'philanthropy' is directed overseas.

Perhaps he knows something the rest of us don't. On the other hand, there haven't been any stories about his applying for citizenship in India, have there? (That would be more than just a clue!)

The Gates Foundation has quickly become a major influence upon global health; the approximately US$800 million that the foundation gives every year for global health approaches the annual budget of the United Nations World Health Organization (193 nations)

Jesus, Bill. 4/5ths of a billion for world health is all you can spare?

You suck, man.

I guess you think philanthropy=self-serving nationalism.

America didn't get to where it is by closing itself off to the outside world and never helping others who happen to have been born on the wrong side arbitrarily-drawn borders, so it looks like Bill and Melinda have no intentions on straying from that philosophy when it comes to global issues.

He should just keep his money and let those people die. He doesn't know them. Why should he care?

Philanthropy... WHAT DOES THIS WORD MEAN ANYWAY?

Note to OP:

To connect the dots, you must first have dots.

Was there a link to some news or report for this. Not being a doubter, I would just like to read about it.
