In this Link TV special presentation of Alex Gibney’s Money-Driven Medicine, get to the heart of what’s really going on with health care in America, no matter which side of the debate you land on.
Money-Driven Medicine is the first and only documentary taking a systemic look at the forces underlying — and often undermining — American health care. Produced by Academy Award-winner Alex Gibney and inspired by Century Foundation Health Care Fellow Maggie Mahar’s acclaimed book by the same name, the film offers a behind-the-scenes look at the $2.6 trillion U.S. health care system, how it went so terribly wrong and what it will take to fix it. Money-Driven Medicine lays out the policy challenges for the next decade if we are to provide all Americans effective, high quality, patient-centered care while containing costs and avoiding unnecessary, even risky procedures.
Joining this special presentation of Money-Driven Medicine is guest T.R. Reid, author of “The Healing of America: A Global Quest for Better, Cheaper and Fairer Health Care,” with commentary on the film.

This Documentary just touches the surface of what is really happening in our health care system. When you really find out where disease is coming from it will shock you. In fact there is no disease that cannot be cured in both Western and Eastern medicine.
Take some time a research COPD and then look at the side effects of almost every known drug on the market. This is just the beginning.
