Sick for Profit

by Dollars and Sense

Robert Greenwald's Brave New Films, which has produced hard-hitting documentaries like "Outfoxed," "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price," and the newly released "Rethink Afghanistan," has started a campaign to publicize health insurance industry profits and to counter the industry's campaign against reform.

From the "Sick for Profit" website:

Welcome to the American health insurance industry. Instead of helping policyholders attain the health security they need for their families, big insurance companies get rich by denying coverage to patients. Now they're sending lobbyists to Washington, DC to twist the arms of lawmakers to oppose reform of the status quo. Why? Because the status quo pays.

Learn more about the glamorous lives of billionaire health insurance executives and tell us your story of being victimized by their greed...

Watch the video, read patients' stories, and see the obscene salaries of health insurance profiteers at the "Sick for Profit" website.
