As a nurse and just as a mom in general, I often get into conversations with people about health care reform. I've discussed it with doctors, nurses, parents and friends. I've yet to hear a magical solution. But there is not question that something must be done. I highly recommend watching these two fascinating mini-documentaries to anyone who cares about health care.
(I find myself recommending them frequently and thought that it's about time that I put them up on my blog so I don't have to search for them anymore.) They were both done by PBS Frontline and are each about an hour long, but it is time well-spent. The first one surveys 5 health care systems around the world and talks about the pros and cons of each. The second one gives many examples of how the health care system has failed people in America.
