Healthcare in America is arguably the best in the world, but only for those who can afford it. This penetrating four-part series from ABC News goes to the front lines of the healthcare crisis to take an unflinching look at a system that is itself in failing health. Heroic measures to prop the system up are also presented, as are some glimmers of hope for a solution—or at least the beginnings of one. 4-part series, 23 minutes each.
