Revisiting T R Reid in the Age of Coronavirus
REPRISE of an interview for @KGNU in which Claudia Cragg talks for with\xa0 who was a bureau chief in Tokyo and London for The Washington Post. His book, \u201c: A Global Quest for Better, Cheaper, and Fairer Health Care,\u201d is as valid with #COVID19 in 2020 as it was when originally published. It is a great shame that, in the intervening years, the lessons Reid so succinctly and expertly drew on from his wide experience of living outside of the US were not paid more attention to.\xa0 His work is a systematic study of the health systems in seven countries that was inspired in part by his family\u2019s experiences living overseas and receiving health care abroad. Mr. Reid also produced a 2008 documentary on the same topic for PBS called \u201cSick Around the World.\u201d
