A Mini-debate About Health Care: Part Iv: Choice (1993-10-18)
About this film
Yes, there's still more to say; these installments look at the subject more from the patient's and the doctor's point of view than the politician's. CAS: "The thing that concerns me ... is that there is no clear recognition of the need to support research and development. We are very concerned about taking care of people, but... if we don't have those medicines that are going to take care of AIDS and Alzheimer's and cancer and cardiovascular disease, then our kids aren't going to look to a very bright future." ... RKD: "The problem with doing an overhaul to a system that doesn't have every aspect of it broken is that we're going to have to break some of the things that don't need fixing. We have the best system in the world in this country.... Every one of you has had the experience of traveling to another country and you pray that you don't get sick."
