Bill Moyers Journal. Journalist Nancy Youssef / Dr. Jim Yong Kim

Description

Almost eight years since the start of the war in Afghanistan, has the situation there improved? In this edition of the Journal, Bill Moyers talks with Nancy Youssef, chief Pentagon correspondent for McClatchy’s Washington Bureau, for a firsthand assessment of the state of affairs in Afghanistan and for her observations on reporting on the war both from the nation’s capital and on the ground. Then, Moyers interviews Dr. Jim Yong Kim—the president of Dartmouth College, whose prestigious career in public health and infectious diseases has included stints at Harvard Medical School, the World Health Organization, and Partners in Health—to learn what Kim’s past experiences with health care in countries around the world can tell Americans about U.S. health care today.
