FRONTLINE investigates the failures and future of the private insurance industry, examining the best and worst of U.S. healthcare by telling the gripping and sometimes tragic stories of ordinary Americans.
As the worsening economy leads to massive job losses -
potentially increasing the ranks of the tens of millions of
Americans without health insurance - FRONTLINE travels the country
examining the nation's broken healthcare system and exploring the
need for a fundamental overhaul. The scale of the problem now
facing the Obama administration, FRONTLINE finds, 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 healthcare reform.
