Your Call 091109 What can the world teach us about healthcare?

What can we learn from the rest of the world about how healthcare can work? On the next Your Call we'll speak with T.R. Reid, author of The Healing of America: A Global Quest for Better, Cheaper, and Fairer Health Care, about his round the world trip comparing health care systems. Why do Americans spend so much more on staying healthy, but get sicker, go bankrupt more often and regularly die from diseases the rest of the world handles easily?

Send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org or join us live at 11 a.m. Can good health care be part of the American way? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.

Veteran foreign correspondent for The Washington Post, a commentator for National Public Radio and the author of 10 books, including three in Japanese. His latest is called The Healing of America: A Global Quest for Better, Cheaper, and Fairer Health Care.
