Free healthcare, free bi yearly whole body scans, or even free education would do exponentially more than what the worlds richest woman is willing to do. She is an American oligarch. She is creating a new school instead of helping create policy that would vastly improve healthcare.

With all due respect, the world needs improved approaches to education AND improved policy. Criticizing a person for helping out in one way but not focusing on helping out in your preferred way does not seem ideal.

She is an oligarch. Privatised education is what the rich want.
