He’s now more known for SELLING his Nobel medal than to WINNING it, thanks to our pathetic health care system.
He had to SELL his Nobel Prize to pay for his medical care??! What kind of sick system is this. A Nobel-prize-winning scientist who has contributed so much to the world … arrrgh!
Read it and weep - he had to sell off his Nobel medal to pay for his dementia care.
So sad…
