Sick Around The World

Jim Pence April 21st, 2008

(Cross posted at Hillbilly Report)
Last week I had the time and opportunity to watch ” Sick Around The World” a FRONTLINE production.
Senator Mitch McConnell, I hope you had time to watch it, but just in case you were too busy kissing George W. Bush’s ass and found it difficult to focus on what’s going on in the real world, a problem commonly know as a “Skills Gap“, I have put all the information below for your viewing pleasure.
Enjoy Senator!!!!!

In Sick Around the World, FRONTLINE teams up with veteran Washington Post foreign correspondent T.R. Reid to find out how five other capitalist democracies — the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, Taiwan and Switzerland — deliver health care, and what the United States might learn from their successes and their failures.

CHENEY’S LAW
Tuesday, October 16, 2007

For three decades, Vice President Dick Cheney has waged a secretive, and often bitter battle to expand the power of the presidency. Now in a direct confrontation with Congress, as the administration asserts executive privilege to head off investigations into domestic wiretapping and the firing of U.S. attorneys, FRONTLINE producer Michael Kirk (The Dark Side, The Torture Question) meticulously traces the behind-closed-doors battle within the administration over the power of the presidency and the rule of law.
