Emergency: Hospitals on the Brink; Russia's Jewel: Religion and Nationalism in Tatarstan; Acid Attacks: Juliette's Story
For every one percent increase in the unemployment rate, over a million people lose their health insurance. This means huge increases in ER visits to public hospitals, which treat everyone regardless of their ability to pay. This safety net is fraying, and hospitals are scrambling to figure out ways not to cut care, while staying solvent. Next, we travel to Tatarstan, a republic in the heart of Russia. Unlike Chechnya, Tatarstan is a place where Christians and Muslims live in harmony. Oil wealth makes Tatarstan extremely important to Moscow, but now there are many who think that the Republic should breakaway from mother Russia. What's next for Tatarstan, Russia's jewel? Finally, the extraordinary words of a young woman who was, like so many women in Africa and Asia, the victim of an acid attack. She redefines hope and beauty.
