Out of control healthcare costs are a heavy burden for our community and millions of Americans. U.S. health care spending is almost double what it is in other high-income countries, yet we are the only country that doesn’t have universal health coverage. Nearly 30 million of us remain uninsured. 100 million of us-including at least 70 million who are “insured”- now have medical debt, even bankruptcy. We need to put politics aside and ask the serious questions: Where is our money going? Who is profiting?  What will it take to change the system?

FIX IT – HealthCare at the Tipping Point answers these questions. This documentary takes a hard look at how our dysfunctional healthcare system negatively impacts the nation’s health, discourages physicians, and hurts the bottom line of our businesses and national economy. FIX IT proposes a commonsense solution to the out-of-control costs while ensuring full access to quality healthcare for every American.

Let’s start the conversation about healthcare in this country and demand action from our elected officials. After all, you can’t have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness without your health.

Join Healthcare for All WNC on Monday, March 27th, at 6:30 pm, at the Marion Train Depot, 58 Depot St., for a free screening of the 40-minute documentary and a Q&A discussion afterward.
