He is also a frequent guest on NPR's Morning Edition. Reid is a reporter, documentary film correspondent and author. The Healing of America lays bare the moral question at the heart of our troubled system, dissecting the misleading rhetoric surrounding the health care debate: Is health care a human right?
The first question facing these countries-and the United States, for that matter-is an ethical issue: Is health care a human right? In addition to long-established systems, Reid also studies countries that have carried out major health care reform.
Reid sees problems too: He finds poorly paid doctors in Japan, endless lines in Canada, mistreated patients in Britain, spartan facilities in France. In his global quest to find a possible prescription, Reid visits wealthy, free market, industrialized democracies like our own-including France, Germany, Japan, the U.K., and Canada-where he finds inspiration in example. Reid shows how all the other industrialized democracies have achieved something the United States can’t seem to do: provide health care for everybody at a reasonable cost.
