I'm up early this morning, working on our Thanksgiving feast. I can't offer you any sweet potatoes or turkey, but here are a few goodies I discovered about health care systems of other countries.
Tonny van der Salm clued me in about an excellent public television program she'd seen.
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 US might learn from their successes and their failures.
You can watch the entire program online here.
There's an interesting discussion of France and the Netherlands' health systems by Jonathan Cohn at The Boston Globe.
BBC News has some healthcare comparisons on their site here.
Remember yesterday's post, the song "We're Number 37" by Paul Hipp? PolitiFact has a detailed look at the World Health Organization statistics in their Truth-O-Meter feature article.
What do you think of these sources and their conclusions? Have you found other good information on the subject? Please share in the comments!
And have a lovely Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for my great students!
