From Sarah Crosby, the League of Women Voters of the San Juans
The League of Women Voters of the San Juans will show “The Healthcare Movie” at their membership meeting on Monday, November 12. The meeting will take place at the San Juan Island Library from 12 noon until 2 pm. A discussion will follow the movie.
Beginning with essentially the same goals, the healthcare systems in the U.S. and Canada have evolved into two completely different entities. This movie tells the story of how that happened over time. For those interested in Healthcare reform in this country, this documentary is an essential component of your research! Open to the public.
One of the best books I have read on the subject is T.R. Reid’s “The Healing of America” – which compares the US healthcare system with about a dozen other systems around the world. We can do so much better.
I posted info and interesting charts on it here: https://8020vision.com/2010/08/22/better-cheaper-and-fairer-health-care/
