One step after the other. I just donated, despite ever having used PayPal before, and with a non-american credit card. And - it worked within a few minutes. I have my objections to PayPal, too, and would like to see alternatives but that doesn't have to be the focus right now.

You're right, and I understand your point, but I would also like to add my voice to those pressuring Watsi for a PayPal alternative. Personally I had pressed "Fund Treatment" and was 100% committed to converting until PayPal loaded. I don't have a PayPal account any more and I won't reopen it for anybody, not even Watsi.
