American Hospitals: Healing a Broken System

SPECIAL BAY AREA SCREENING + Q&A
FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 7PM - 9PM

A panel of guest speakers will follow the film:

• Michael Lighty, Healthy California Now coalition
• Ellen Karel, Health Care for All-Marin/CA
• Anthony Wright, Health Access
• Kathleen Belzer, CA Nurse Midwives Foundation

A provocative look at the cost and inequities of American hospitals, often more motivated by money and power than in providing for the health needs of individuals and the communities they were founded to serve.

SYNOPSIS: Today hospital care is too often about money and power than serving the health needs of patients and the community. “American Hospitals” examines the pernicious incentives driving health care’s astronomical pricing, its monopolistic practices and the pervasive inequities in access and treatment. The film identifies innovative solutions that deserve national attention to restore hospitals to their historic focus on community health at affordable cost.
