INHOSPITABLE – Review by Liz Braun
A new film called InHospitable is an indictment of the U.S. health care system, specifically the mega-hospitals disguised as non-profit organizations.
It should be said that it may have been a mistake to let a (full disclosure) Canadian review this film, because to those of us accustomed to a very different medical system, InHospitable plays more like a horror movie than a documentary.
The film focusses on a David and Goliath battle that played out in Pennsylvania over the ruthlessness of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Centre (UPMC), a behemoth that was prepared to cut off care for hundreds of thousands of people.
