Product Description

As rising health care costs threaten to bankrupt the country, MONEY AND MEDICINE tackles the medical, ethical and financial challenges of containing runaway health care spending. With remarkable candor and poignancy, MONEY AND MEDICINE captures the difficult end-of-life treatment choices made by patients and their families, ranging from very aggressive interventions in the ICU to palliative care at home. The film also investigates the controversy surrounding diagnostic testing and screening as well as the shocking treatment variations among patients receiving a variety of elective procedures. In addition to illuminating the so-called waste and overtreatment that pervade our medical system, this timely documentary explores promising ways to reduce health care expenditures while improving the overall quality of medical care.
