The new documentary, American Hospitals: Healing a Broken System, pulls the curtain back on out-of-control costs of hospitals and their transformation into money-making businesses. How did we get here and how can we incentivize hospitals to provide the highest quality care at the lowest cost?

Learn the answer to those questions and hear the call to action from physicians, policy makers, researchers, business leaders and hospital administrators, including Wendell Potter, President of Business Leaders for Health Care Transformation and the Center for Health and Democracy, Dr. Don Berwick, former Chief Administrator at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and Dr. Elisabeth Rosenthal, Editor-in-Chief of Kaiser Health News, and many more.
