The issue of health care in America goes far beyond a line in the budget. It reaches into the center of the American soul and answers the question, "How in the world do we want to treat each other?"
We interviewed Health Policy and Economics experts in both the United Sates and Canada, a Canadian Senator, and the incoming
president of a provincial medical association, who told us what
doctors are saying about the health care system in Canada.
It was our privilege to interview a former Premier of Saskatchewan who was the Minister of Health at the time when Canada was fighting for what is now its universal medicare plan. We visited two Community Clinics in Saskatoon, and met with patients there, and then we had a chance to talk with a Saskatchewan politician.
We had the honor of meeting an author whose new book about the heroes behind the scenes in Saskatchewan was hot off the press. We drove through unusually wet prairies to visit the small Saskatchewan town where some say Canada's health care system was born.
And we visited a family in Winnipeg, Manitoba whose challenging health care story began with the birth of their first child almost three years ago.
Many, many more people in both Canada and the United States have become a part of the Healthcare Movie. Now we are putting it all together, with historical images and video clips to bring the story to life. We need your help.
