T.R. Reid Hosts a Presentation of Money-Driven Medicine on Link TV

Money-Driven Medicine is one of the strongest documentaries I have seen in years and could not be more timely. The more people who see and talk about it, the more likely we are to get serious and true health care reform.” - Bill Moyers

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.

1. Looks interesting. Wish it was on a channel I have access to.

I guess I'll have to wait for the DVD.

I'm currently reading T.R. Reid's book, which I also recommend to anyone who's interested in this topic.
