Hello,
I too watched the sick in america and did enjoy it until i read this
Something is Rotten at PBS
by Russell Mokhiber
Quote:
... Reid traveled around America, interviewing patients, doctors, and health insurance executives.
The documentary that resulted - Sick Around America - aired Monday night on PBS.
But even though Reid did the reporting for the film, he was cut out of the film when it aired this week.
And the film didn't present Reid's bottom line for health care reform - don't let health insurance companies profit from selling basic health insurance.
They can sell for-profit insurance for extras - breast enlargements, botox, hair transplants.
But not for the basic health needs of the American people.
Instead, the film that aired Monday pushed the view that Americans be required to purchase health insurance from for-profit companies.

Frontline was one of my favorites until i read that.
