Global quest for better health care
Download
What can the United States, the richest of rich nations, learn from other countries' health systems? Quite a bit, writes T.R. Reid in "The Healing of America." The Washington Post correspondent embarked on an international medical tour to uncover the merits and pitfalls of universal care. Reid concludes that America spends far more than other countries for lower quality, uneven care. Larry Mantle learns more about health systems in India, Japan, Britain, Taiwan and elsewhere, and the lessons they offer for the United States on the road to better, cheaper and fairer health care for all.
