Thought provoking look at health care
a Health Care for the 21st Century film review
If you liked Inconvenient Truth's approach and care about health care reform, you'll like this video. Only downside is that it might be a bit heady for some people.
This film is basically a moving speech from Dr. John Kitzhaber, an ER physician and former Oregon Governor. He offers a "build from the ground up" approach to health care reform, based on many values widely held by Americans of various political persuasions. He convincingly makes the case for re-envisioning the health care system. It's going to be a hard challenge to challenge the vested interests, but by appealing to fiscal responsibility, as well as fairness and promotion of health (rather than sick care), Kitzhaber's points stick.
