Watsi really stands out as a startup that's really doing some good. Let's be honest, most startups you read about aren't really a measurable positive force in the world.
Only in a "first-world" country would be imaginable the complaint, "people in rich countries deciding who gets treatment in poor countries" shameful! Only an idiot would make that judgement.
The PICTURES make it real. Real human beings. It encourages people to give.
I'm no bleeding heart, but more VCs, entrepreneurs, and (especially) people of means should be using more of their vast resources to start and promote more things like Watsi.

Only an idiot would make that judgement. That judgement is actually quite accurate. Watsi may do something good, but it does work with existing charities to provide medical services. Why charity is needed and the role charity plays in systemic issues in this and other countries is an important thing to examine.
