Sick Around the World
#1
This is almost a decade old, now, but I thought it would be good to share. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/sickaroundtheworld/

This compares our healthcare system with others around the world, five in particular. One thing I noticed immediately was that all five removed the profit incentive from basic health insurance coverage. Whether the coverage was in the private sector or the public, the profiting on basic health insurance coverage is gone.

What kind of takeaways do you take from this?

FYI, the video is about an hour long, so just feel free to bum around the site some, instead.
