After the 55-minute film, entitled “FIX IT: Healthcare at the Tipping Point,” a panel discussion will be led by New York State Assemblywoman Amy Paulin and Dr. Elizabeth Rosenthal from Physicians for a National Health Program. The State Assembly has passed a bill for a single payer health care in New York, and advocates are now focusing on State Senate passage.
The film looks at health care from a businessman’s perspective and shows how the inefficiencies of the present system is damaging our economy, suffocating our businesses, discouraging physicians, and negatively impacting the nation’s health, while remaining unaffordable for a third of the population.
