Healthcare, a history.

The healthcare system of the United States is unique, complex and in need of some reforms. Alas, the debate about what those reforms need to be has been taken over by shouting matches, blame games and scare tactics.

Thankfully Chicago Public Radio's This American Life has created a wonderfully clear and concise explanation of the healthcare system in two episodes.

In my opinion, this is probably the most understandable explanation of the origins of the system, its evolution and its problems. Truly a must!
