Clinics Mexico

Francisco Ortega packs $30,000 in AIDS medications into the battered 1982 Chrysler LeBaron parked outside a Huntington Beach garage, secures the trunk with a rope and heads south to Mexico. It's an inauspicious start to a mission of mercy. Ortega secretly exports American AIDS drugs and other supplies to barracks-like clinics in Tijuana and other Mexican cities where bony men without health insurance or family resources live out their last days.
