In Health, Money and Fear, a film about our Health Care System, directed, produced and edited by Dr. Hochfeld, he insists our health care system should be more about health and less about profits. Why does it cost so much? What does it say about us? And what can we do about it? Learn more about the film what led the ER doctor to produce it, today on Line One.

Hi…great show. I have a friend whose English is challenged. She turned 65 last year, and for the first time got medical coverage, Medicare. She asked help figuring out how to apply, and what to get for additional coverage. I figured Advantage would give her better access, first, and improved coverage over Medigap + D. We signed up for it. When I talked to her GP, he said that was wrong on all counts. What do you think?

This is the enrollment period. We could change it. Suggestions?

Great programming. Am now interested in learning more about the health system in Taiwan & France.
