Do those clinics pay for brain surgery. Sorry but that is second or third class care - everyone should have access to quality care and not have to be in a position to ask for charity. Healthcare is a necessity and quality care must be available to all.
Charity is not a policy.

Oh my gosh, you did not say that.

Clothing is important too, but we can’t make other people pay for our clothing. Sheesh. A doctor doesn’t owe you his labor! Plumbing is also a necessity! You don’t demand your plumber fix it for free!

Yes, if someone is indigent, there should indeed by charities where they can apply to have their brain surgery for low or no cost. If doctors made what they SHOULD be making, more of them would GLADLY perform these pro bono surgeries. I know a few cosmetic surgeons, WHO WORK WITHIN FREE MARKET VALUE SYSTEMS, who do spend their vacations traveling to third world countries and repairing children’s deformities, etc.

Clothing is such a good example of the natural market. You can spend $5000 on a suit or dress. You can spend $100 to clothe yourself. At some places downtown or at great sales, a man or woman could clothe him or herself for $50. At secondhand places, thrift shops, etc you could do the same for even less. There are charities who donate clothing to the really destitute FOR FREE if needed.

Yes, medical care should be so.
