This news article, by FrontLine and Washington Post foreign correspondent T.R. Reid compares the American Healthcare system with 5 other democratic countries. I very worthwhile, and eye opening report. There are some great systems out there that greatly benefit health care consumers.
I would love to see this report expanded on to delve more in to how these systems affect nurses' quality of workplace as well as lifestyle. Do they pay enough? It was obvious that in most systems doctors can not "get rich" like in North America, but they do manage a descent living (I believe). But do nurses?
If you have not seen this program yet, aired on PBS this month, I strongly recommend you take 30 minutes and have a listen
