Watch a Preview

Four in five Americans say the U.S. health care system needs “fundamental” change.

FRONTLINE correspondent T.R. Reid examines first-hand the health care systems of other advanced capitalist democracies–UK, Germany, Switzerland, Japan and Taiwan–to see what tried and tested ideas might help us reform our broken health care system.
