Health care has a stranglehold on the U.S. economy, dominating our annual national spending with unsustainable, out-of-control growth that far outpaces annual economic growth.  American Hospitals uncovers the economic structure of an industry that is charging outrageous fees while sitting on billions of dollars in accumulated cash- and paves the way towards solutions.

 From the makers of “Fix It – Healthcare at the Tipping Point”

American Hospitals takes a deep dive into the out-of-control cost of hospitals and their transformation into a money-driven big business. How can we incentivize hospitals to provide the highest quality care with the lowest affordable cost to the community? Join Indivisible Evanston and Physicians for a National Health System, for a screening and discussion of the new provocative documentary American Hospitals: Healing a Broken System.

Today hospital care is too often about money and power and less about 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.
