Even with the Affordable Care Act in place, the price of healthcare is one of many Americans’ deepest concerns. As Escape Fire explains, the battle over cost and access does not address the root of the problem: in our system, patient care comes in second after making profits. This must-see documentary illuminates the powerful forces maintaining the status quo, but it also offers hope, interweaving personal stories with the vigorous efforts of leaders battling to transform healthcare at the highest levels of medicine, industry, government, and the military. Matthew Heineman/Susan Froemke. 2012. 98 m. NR. USA. Roadside Attractions.
