Video Catalog > Legal and Ethical Issues in Health Care

This probing documentary puts a human face on the fundamental differences in the management, operation, and funding of the American and Canadian health care systems. Walter Cronkite narrates this objective comparison as health policy experts on both sides of the border speak candidly about the merits, liabilities, and tradeoffs that are part of both countries' health care systems. Three major areas of medicine are explored: Obstetrics, Cardiology, and Cancer.

Borderline Medicine ultimately asks the fundamental question--Is health care a right? In most countries it is, and Canada provides a good example of universal coverage combined with cost control. This program does not propose that we transplant the Canadian model, but suggests that we can learn from it and move toward developing a better system that offers affordable health care to all Americans.

"This superb production is highly recommended for health care professionals and health care economist/administrators, and students in health care."- Choice
