Health care has been hotly debated in the last few years, and many people have theories about what is wrong and how to fix it. Some 47 million people have no health insurance, but even those who think they are well covered may encounter unexpected difficulties getting the health care they need when they need it. We speak with Jonathan Cohn, author of Sick: The Untold Story of America’s Health Care Crisis.Many pundits look to other countries for good models of health care, but one author believes we have an excellent model right in front of our noses. Philip Longman set out to find an innovative health care system in America and discovered the surprising strengths of the system run by the Veterans Administration.
