Within the week I have watched reporter T R Reid on Charlie Rose and seen the documentary on Frontline.

Sick Around The World
Comparing 5 capitalist democracies and how they have universal health coverage for all their citizens.

"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."

Watch the Frontline documentary. Other countries consider it a human right that a person get medical care without going bankrupt, without losing their house, without being expected to pay when they cannot pay.
