The Film

For every Utahn, for every American, there is a stark question: "Do I have a right to healthcare?" KUED addresses that question and looks at the barriers to healthcare in a new hour-long documentary by Nancy Green. Every year 18,000 people die from diseases that could be prevented or cured, simply because they do not have access to the health care system. In Utah, an estimated 300,000 to 400,000 people are uninsured. That's roughly twice the population of Salt Lake City. In addition to financial barriers, are cultural, language and geographic barriers.
