PBS had a half hour program that presented health care programs around the world.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, it's available on line. I think it's worth the time investment.

There was a lot of interest in the program. The most startling thing to me was that visits with a doctor in Japan last three minutes. Three minutes. Interesting, too, was that lonely patients in Britain may visit their doctors a few times a week just for the company. Good thing they're not paying US doctor salaries for that.

Doctors are not earning the tremendous salaries that they are here.

If we were to do that here, we'd have to pay for their education. We might even have to pay them to train.
