Healthcare Notes

The program Sick Around the World is a real eye-opener for those who still have doubts about healthcare reform in the United States.

From Frontline/PBS:

In Sick Around the World, FRONTLINE teams up with veteran Washington Post foreign correspondent T.R. Reid to find out how five other capitalist democracies - the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, Taiwan and Switzerland - deliver health care, and what the United States might learn from their successes and their failures.

Another illuminating phenomenon is the National Association of Free Clinics program that took place over the weekend in New Orleans, to be followed by stops in Little Rock (11/21/09) and Kansas City.

The long lines of hundreds and thousands desperate for medical attention are just more examples that demonstrate the need for universal healthcare in this country.
