Synopsis

Dr. David Stark Murray discusses national healthcare. Murray discusses how, by prioritizing the business aspect of the medical industry in the United States, this often leads to problems in quality of care. He uses the example of blood donations, volunteer-based versus receiving money for this action, to illustrate this point. Studs plays "A Man's a Man for A' That" - Ewan MacColl (1959).
