Frontline - Sick Around the World

[Gayle]

This is a spin-off from the Presidential Election thread, and some other threads lately about health care and how much we, Americans, really do or don't know about the many iterations of it.

Frontline is running a piece tonight titled "Sick Around the World: Other Rich Countries Have Universal Health Care, Why Don't We?"

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/sickaroundtheworld/

It examines the health care system of the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Japan and Taiwan.

Also All Things Considered on NPR ran a story about Japan's health care system. It was very interesting. Here's the link:
