Sick Around the World: A Documentary by PBS FRONTLINE

I found this documentary while searching United Healthcare Insurance Policy. Four years ago, United Healthcare denied my claim which I treated in Campus Health Center at New Mexico University. Recently, I am treating my mallet finger injury from Judo training. I visited orthopedic at El Paso because of a referral from NMSU Health Center. Now, I guess United Healthcare is trying to deny my claim. They sent me several paper works including verification of my enrollment (obviously they know, I am a Teaching Assistant and part of my premium is paid by NMSU), name of the doctor and hospital I visited within one year, and so on... What a crazy! I have been paying premium to this company for six years and they never asked me anything at all.  Now, when time came to pay back for my injury, they are making all sort of drama to avoid paying back... Anyway, this is my side of story. And, what I found is, there are so many people suffering from crappy insurance policy...Check this documentary for more information.   

In Sick Around the World, FRONTLINE teams up with veteran Washington Post foreign correspondent T.R. Reid to find out how five other capitalist democracies -- the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, Taiwan and Switzerland -- deliver health care, and what the United States might learn from their successes and their failures.
