| Posted 7 months ago I just started watching it online. I haven't gotten through the whole thing, but I am fascinated. Makes me think about things like universal healthcare v. universal insurance.....What did you think of it? Georgia Price

| Posted 7 months ago I am pretty awestruck by the first part about UK...no one has ever gone bankrupt from healthcare. What a different world! I jsut spent $4,000 on dental work yesteday - yikes. I am not complaining about being able to GET care - that part is great - but the price is pretty hefty. And insurance will only pay for $1,000 in dental a year... |

| Posted 7 months ago I hear the producer/director interviewed on the radio. I thought it was very interesting. Obviously our system needs to be changed, Why not implement what is working around the world? |

| Posted 7 months ago I agree. The US and South Africa are the only industrialized nations without some form of universal coverage. Seems like the US is a little behind in the times... Georgia Price
