| Money-Driven Medicine: Some Solutions- Health Policy in the Next Decade | | Print | |
|
Money-Driven Medicine provides the essential analysis Americans need if they are to better understand and address the unmet challenges of comprehensive health reform. The makers of this film deliberately do not prescribe specific solutions to repair the broken American healthcare system; the purpose of this documentary is to provide the background and analysis needed to address the systemic causes of the problem. Money-Driven Medicine recognizes that there is no simple panacea or silver bullet for reform. Change needs to occur at every level of the system and will require the concerted effort of all involved - patients, doctors, nurses, medical students, unions, hospital administrators, public health and clinical health workers and elected officials.
