"The real health care crisis is in public confidence and
understanding, not in financial sustainability… the public needs much
more and better information about the real strengths and weaknesses of
the health care system"

This feature length documentary
explores the health care system as it now exists in Canada, how it got
this way, what aspects of it are working, and what dangers are
threatening its survival. It examines and demystifies common beliefs
about socialized medicine and the dangers of universal health care, and
addresses the continuing struggle, particularly in the United States,
between fear of government intervention and the right to health for all
people.
