Frontline: Sick Around America (2009)

Synopsis of Frontline: Sick Around America

The economy bottoming-out and millions of unemployed Americans left without health insurance, Frontline takes an illuminating look at the nation's shattered health care system and ponders innovative proposals for a complete overhaul. Every day, more and more Americans are faced with lay-offs, unexpected illnesses, and drastic life changes, leaving the Obama administration scrambling to find a solution that will ensure everyone receives proper healthcare coverage. By going inside some of the biggest insurance companies in the nation, the filmmakers at Frontline are able to hold executive accountable for their priorities, programs, and policies, and offer detailed account of one state's quest for healthcare reform. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
