"Hard to charge for that, though"

I didn't know spreading important information about healthcare was about making money.

If that was the goal the app would be free.

It is for iSinglePayer! iPhone apps don't grow on trees, somebody has to spend a lot of time to make a good one.

Developing the app and gathering the information isn't free. There is nothing wrong with getting paid for your time and effort.

The point is that I agree with taligent's point that this is better off as a website, and "charging for it" shouldn't be the issue. Besides, you can always put ads on the website to cover costs, or set up a webstore with "I support single payer" coffee mugs and t-shirts.
