Consider what it means to be medically indigent:

• Imagine developing diabetes with no regular source of care.
• Imagine acquiring an infection or pneumonia with no access to antibiotics.
• Imagine having a stroke or heart attack because you had no means for managing high blood pressure or hypertension.
