According to the World Health Organization, the U.S, the richest country in the world ranks 37th overall on health care cost, quality, and coverage. Reid will examine why other countries have better, fairer, and cheaper health care than the USA.
His books include Confucius Lives Next Door: What Living in the East Teaches Us About Living in the West and The United States of Europe: The New Superpower and the End of American Supremacy. Reid was the lead correspondent for the 2008 Frontline documentary Sick Around the World, which examined five other capitalist democracies, looking for lessons on health-care delivery. Reid is a foreign correspondent for The Washington Post - in whose pages he recently addressed five major myths about other countries' health-care systems - and the former chief of the paper's London and Tokyo bureaus. The result: his book The Healing of America: A Global Quest for Better, Cheaper, and Fairer Health Care. Reid set out on a global tour of hospitals and doctors' offices, all in the hopes of understanding how other industrialized nations provide affordable, effective universal health care.
