Got Healthcare?

Did you think health care reform has been resolved? Think again. A 2007 U.S. Census report shows that 47 million Americans did not have health care insurance. A 2009 Harvard University study indicated that 45,000 Americans die annually (15 times the number killed in 9/11) for lack of health care. The day after The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was passed by Congress in March 2010, 22 million Americans still remained without health care. In August 2010 that number rose to 27 million. Meanwhile the health care insurance industry continues to raise rates by tens of percents. That will put us back above 50 million uninsured in no time. A single payer system is likely the only viable solution. This film tells you why.

This film shows protesters at Los Angeles area health care reform rallies on both sides of the issues as they speak their minds and concerns, juxtaposed against statements by President Obama, revealing some interesting and enlightening information not seen in the news media.

Explanations of what single payer and public options plans, including President Obama's speeches, detail what these plans include. An expose of the anti-reform so called "tea party" (a.k.a. the authoritarian conservative right) shows their reliance on misinformation, lies, and deceptive arguments. Cries of socialism and Hitler are questioned and debunked.

People continue to die in America so the commercial health insurance industry can continue to make exorbitant profits and keep otherwise useless employees at work at the cost of human life to the tune of 45,000 dead per year.

The film is a stream of conversation between protesters and speakers on both sides. It is not formally narrated but instead relies on statements by interviewees. Included are clips from President Obama's White House press conference on health care reform and his Address to a Joint Session of Congress in September, 2009. The film was shot with a consumer HDV camera and without a crew. The filmmaker relied on protest event organizers to provide interesting settings where people gathered with signs, speeches, and even song in protest for health care reform. Over 60 people were interviewed including notable doctors and health care professionals who support a strong health care reform movement. This is the 91 minute festival cut version.
