Other Countries' Health Care
Health Populi had a great blog yesterday on the new HarrisInteractive and Harvard School of Public Health's latest poll on American's knowledge of other health systems.
Clearly we are myopic as a nation about other health care systems. For those who have George Halvorson's book, Health Care Reform Now!, he has a nice chapter on what other countries do. I am teaching a class starting in late April about what other countries do for health care and how they got to reform. Starting in late April, we will focus on health care in other countries and see what we can find.
One thing for sure: There is no cookie cutter approach to health care reform.
Cheers and more later. Kathleen
