8/22/08: Sick Around the World

Doug Fabrizio (2008-08-21)

SALT LAKE CITY, UT (kuer) - Washington post reporter TR Reid says when it comes to health care, the United States - the richest country in the world - is a fourth rate power. Reid is writing a book about health care around the world - and earlier this year he hosted a film for the PBS documentary series Frontline. Reid traveled to five wealthy capitalist countries trying to figure out how they do it - that is offer health care to everyone and for a heck of a lot less. TR Reid joined Doug to talk about what he learned. (Rebroadcast)

TR Reid's investigation "Sick Around the World" is available on-line. Visit Frontline to view it now.
