Sick in America


is a compelling and timely documentary exposing the very serious consequences of getting sick in the United States. It premiered on PBS on March 31st, 2009. It is the sequel to the highly acclaimed Frontline documentary, Sick Around the World.

“As the worsening economy leads to massive job losses -- potentially increasing the ranks of the tens of millions of Americans without health insurance -- FRONTLINE is traveling the country examining the nation's broken health care system and exploring the need for a fundamental overhaul. The scale of the problem now facing the Obama administration is staggering, as lay-offs, major illness, and other unexpected life changes leave more and more Americans uninsured, underinsured or uninsurable. FRONTLINE also goes inside insurance companies to question executives on their policies, programs and priorities and examines the problems in one state's attempts at health care reform” Producer: T.R.
