Keynote Speaker in the News: Economist on U.S. Health Care - T.R. Reid
No matter where you fall in the great Health Care debate, everyone has an opinion. The Skimmer from Time Magazine (Thanks, T. Scott) has a blurb on T.R. Reid's new book, "The Healing of America". A quote,
"The question Reid poses, however, isn't, What are we doing wrong? It's, What are other countries doing right--and how can the U.S. learn from them?"
See T.R. Reid live at the Wednesday, Sept. 23, Keynote - "The Healing of America. A Global Quest for Better, Cheaper, and Fairer Health Care."
