When the World Health Organization rated the national health care systems of 191 countries in terms of "fairness," the United States ranked fifty-fourth. That put us slightly ahead of Chad and Rwanda but just behind Bangladesh and the Maldives. How is it all the other industrialized democracies provide health care for everyone at a reasonable cost, something the United States has never managed to do? In "The Healing of America," New York Times bestselling author T.R. Reid shows how they do it, bringing to bear his talent for explaining comlpex issues in a clear, engaging way.
