The Healing of America

I am currently reading a book called The Healing of America by T.R. Reid, it is a book that discusses Americas Health Care System and compares it with the health care systems of other rich countries.  Our system comes up lacking.  In other countries, no one who is sick goes untreated, and everyone is treated the same.

I think that we have something to learn from these other countries, and cut health care costs and make sure that no one is left out, or dies for lack of health care.  I think it is a shame that a person who is sick and uninsured has to go without treatment in America, just because they can't afford to pay the medical bills, when in other countries, they would be treated irregardless of the cost.

Definitely an eye opening book.  I would  encourage you to check it out.
