Letter: Medical condition
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: No doubt there have been many suggestions as to how to limit the absurdly large prizes in the National Lottery. My own is to cap them at, say, pounds 3m - a "reward" big enough for anyone - and to devote the difference to charities for medical science.
These charities, and others, are suffering considerably from the introduction of the lottery and it would be appropriate, in any case, that medical science should benefit insofar as many of the big prize winners currently have - or soon will have - money-induced medical conditions.
Yours sincerely,
