520    "Four in five Americans say the U.S. health-care system 
       needs "fundamental" change. Can the U.S. learn anything 
       from the rest of the world about how to run a health-care 
       system, or are these nations so culturally different from 
       us that their solutions would simply not be acceptable to 
       Americans? FRONTLINE correspondent T.R. Reid examines 
       first-hand the health-care systems of other advanced 
       capitalist democracies -- UK, Germany, Switzerland, Japan,
       and Taiwan -- to see what tried and tested ideas might 
       help us reform our broken health-care system."--Frontline
