Five capitalist democracies around the world - Japan, Taiwan, Switzerland, Great Britain, and Germany - all have health care systems that provide health care for everyone.
Health care in the United States has reached a crisis point, despite advances in medicine and technology. Yet this is not necessarily the case in other parts of the world. This lesson looks at health and society, and explores such issues as inequities in health care coverage; the economics of providing care; alternative medical treatments; and ethical questions revolving around right-to-die and the obligation to provide medical treatment.
Despite attempts to provide an equitable baseline of healthcare for Americans, an estimated 44 million people in the United States do not have health insurance, public or private. This episode looks at various governmental attempts to insure a "healthy" America, from the work of various research agencies and regulatory units to specific governmental programs, like Medicare and Medicaid.
The film goes beyond health insurance to offer a behind-the-scenes look at the $2.6 trillion U.S. healthcare system, how it went so terribly wrong and what it will further take to fix it.
