This story is amazing. Medical costs in the U.S. are obscene and this is the kind of philanthropic action needed to clear the decks. Nonetheless, this is still just a band-aid for a deadly serious wound. Long term solutions to ridiculous costs are desperately needed.
Buechner
βIn his last memoir, in 1999, Mr. Buechner recalled his mother, his brother and his childhood friend, the poet James Merrill, all of whom had died. A central character in his recollections, however, is his long-dead maternal grandmother, Naya Kuhn, whom he invites to an imagined conversation in his study at Pawlet.
Searching for insights, he asks her about death: βYouβve already set sail. What can you tell me about it?β
She responds that she considers it misleading to speak of people as having passed away. βIt is the world that passes away,β she says.β

Buechner, through his beautiful writing, has been for me a true companion in the way. May his memory be eternal.
