Behind the Scenes: A Revealing Exploration of U.S. Hospital Economics
As health care and patient advocates, we aim to support people in navigating the complicated healthcare system, promote patient rights, empower individuals, and drive change within the healthcare system. “American Hospitals” speaks to these values, elevating our understanding of healthcare costs and exploring potential solutions to create a more equitable system. This documentary offers a comprehensive picture of the current hospital industry’s economic challenges and illuminates the human stories behind these statistics.

About American Hospitals:

Today hospital care is too often about money and power than serving the health needs of patients and the community.  “American Hospitals” examines the pernicious incentives driving health care’s astronomical pricing, its monopolistic practices and the pervasive inequities in access and treatment. The film identifies innovative solutions that deserve national attention to restore hospitals to their historic focus on community health at affordable cost.
