The story sums up the hearing which I saw on C-SPAN and the documentary by T.R. Reid. I linked to the latter below, to the recent Senate hearing son healthcare and to an interview transcript at the WaPo with Reid who looks at a variety of countries, notably Switzerland, which has kept its private insurers but mandated that they insure everyone and make no profit on basic services, only for add-ons. One questioned asked was how the media can educated the public about the facts v.s. the spin. (I guess I missed this because I don't watch TV much and it was aired on April 15, when many of us are thinking more about taxes.)

My problem with this story is many typos, and all it does is basically recite (or regurgitate) some items from the Reid documentary. Also we can't tell if it is sourced good since it brings forth no other data.

The heathcare system is the US has been looked at through a microscope but no viable solutions come to the forefront. Until the next president is elected, there is a road to nowhere regarding this subject matter. And I hope I don't get sick.
