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.MILLIONS on waiting lists. Hospitals closed due to cash shortages. People being refused treatment for serious heart problems - then suddenly we spend large sums importing other nation's ill and wounded for long-stay treatment.
'Charity begins at home.' In this case large numbers have been paying their 'charity' to the Government for up to 50 years and more for this shabby treatment and may perhaps die if they wait any longer.
Had their been no waiting lists and plenty of funds it would be another story. Is this the way to score 'brownie points'? If so it does not wash with those waiting their delayed turn.
