 In the U.S., 47 million people live without the vital safety net of health insurance. In this edition of the Journal, Bill Moyers presents a special one-hour version of Critical Condition, in which filmmaker Roger Weisberg puts a human face on the nation’s growing health care crisis by capturing the harrowing struggles of critically ill Americans who discover that being uninsured can cost them their jobs, health, home, savings, even their lives. Critical Condition offers a moving and invaluable exposé at a time when the nation is debating how to extend health insurance to all Americans. Broadcast date: August 21, 2009. (55 minutes)
