As rising healthcare costs threaten to bankrupt the country, MONEY AND MEDICINE tackles the medical, ethical, and financial challenges of containing runaway healthcare spending. In addition to illuminating the so-called waste and overtreatment that pervade our medical system, this documentary explores promising ways to reduce healthcare expenditures and improve the overall quality of medical care. With remarkable candor, MONEY AND MEDICINE captures the painful 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. Just as the election-year debate over healthcare cost containment and deficit reduction heats up, MONEY AND MEDICINE puts a human face on the most pressing crisis facing American medicine.
