http://www.pbs.org/frontline/sickaroundtheworld/ To design a new comprehensive health care system, officials in Taiwan looked abroad for ideas, borrowing from the best and avoiding the worst—including what they found in the U.S. Watch “Sick Around the World,” April 15, 2008 on PBS and online at http://www.pbs.org/frontline/sickaroundtheworld/ .
FRONTLINE teams up with T.R. Reid, a veteran foreign correspondent for “The Washington Post,” to find out how five other capitalist democracies–United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, Taiwan and Switzerland–deliver health care and what the United States might learn from their successes and their failures. In “Sick Around the World,” airing Tuesday, April 15, 2008, at 9 P.M. ET on PBS (check local listings), Reid turns up remarkable differences in how these countries handle health care–from Japan, where a night in a hospital can cost as little as $10, to Switzerland, where the president of the country tells Reid it would be a “huge scandal” if someone were to go bankrupt from medical bills.

Lin Yu Chun, a 24-year-old, sang Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You, in hopes of eventually winning a album deal and the 1-million-dollar prize at season’s end.
And get this, within less than 2-days of being posted on YouTube, Lin Yu already racked up more than 2-and-a-half million online-clicks. Pretty impressive indeed. Let us know whose team you’re on by posting Team Boyle or Team Lin Yu. Thanks for watching ClevverTV, I’m Dana Ward and we’ll catch ya later, bye!

AnimalsTaiwan is an organization in Taiwan dedicated to improving the welfare of the animals in Taiwan. They are a NO KILL organization and do everything in their power to help every animal that passes through their doors. They have helped over 500 dogs/cats to date many of which were rescued from appalling conditions through Gin traps, car accidents and human abuse. Many dogs who couldn’t stand when they arrived, now run around happily either on their own steam or with the help of wheelchairs. Animalstaiwan was mainly focused on rescuing, rehabilitating and re homing in the beginning but now is branching out to CNR (Catch Neuter Release), responsible pet ownership and education of the young in animal welfare. With the help of all the wonderful people both in Taiwan and afar, they can continue to help many more animals in need.

Black dog who couldn’t walk is Nio Nio
dog hit in the head is Frankie.
Norton was used in a training program with a trainer from Dr Dog and the trainer couldn’t believe how quickly he learnt. He sat on comand and healed with ease.
Foreigners who started out saving the occasional dog off the street have now moved on to running an officially recognized charity that attracts Taiwanese volunteers with its emphasis on improving animal welfare through education.
