...villagers in the east Congo community of Tayna came up with the idea of running their own reserve to protect the Grauer's gorilla.

While this does place an undeniable strain on the health care system, the burden is nonetheless worth the cost: Studies have demonstrated that access to primary care improves health, allowing doctors to practice preventative medicine, monitor chronic diseases, and control rising health care costs. If we intend to actually realize the benefits of primary care, however, we must take active steps—whether through tuition breaks, tax subsidies, or pay scale changes?...
