A feel like I'm hearing the middle of a conversatoin

The language used to describe this program seems to land it in the US' medical system debate. EG enrolling in health coverage. A lot of the comments here are focusing on that debate.

I imagine the situation is different enough (industry, patients, funding, etc.) to make the comparison something of an analogy.

In any case, I'd like to hear a bit more about watsi's role and goals. Is this a medical insurance/bureaucracy infrastructure governments can adopt? An alternative way to raise/use donor aid, funding insurance instead of clinics? Are "crowdfunding" and "coverage" separate initiatives?
