August 24, 2009
Journalist and author T.R. Reid set out on a global tour of hospitals and doctors' offices, all in the hopes of understanding how other industrialized nations provide affordable, effective universal health care. The result: his book The Healing of America: A Global Quest for Better, Cheaper, and Fairer Health Care.Reid is really good at describing the various systems around the world, warts and all. This is exactly the kind of information our media should have been discussing.
I know that Reid writes for the WP and this interview is on Fresh Air so conservatives will not pay any attention, their handler's won’t allow it, but for the rest of us
this is must hear info-filled reality radio.Links to Reid's article in the WP - “5 Myths About Health Care Around the World” and the 2008 Frontline that Reid work on can be found at the Fresh Air link.
