Sick Around the World

One thing that has been notably missing from the health care debate has been a (sane) discussion of health care systems in other nations. You would think that if we are going to reform health care in this country, we might want to look at what has worked in other nations (and avoid things that have not worked). It would also be good to see how other countries managed their transition away from a private system.

Amazingly, someone did this — the PBS show Frontline. They examine the health care systems in Great Britain, Japan, Germany, Taiwan, and Switzerland, and are happy to consider both the strengths and weaknesses of each approach (yes, they are all different).

Go to their website and watch the show.
