What happens when you're sick and uninsured in America? Award-winning filmmaker Roger Weisberg boldly answers this question in his new film Critical Condition. It takes viewers inside the lives and harrowing struggles of a diverse group of uninsured Americans battling critical illness, and reveals that being uninsured can cost them their jobs, health, homes, savings, and even their lives. The film arrives at a decisive moment, the run-up to the 2008 presidential election, when politicians and the public again focus attention on the dire need for healthcare reform in the United States.
