”What Now, Mr. President?” 

This is a very powerful 30-minute documentary about the awful state of health care in the U.S. and the political challenges in making the necessary changes to our system.  It was aired in the U.K. the night before the inauguration of President Obama.  The film needs to be shown throughout the U.S., but unfortunately it cannot be downloaded from the BBC site in the U.S.  It is available in 3 parts on YouTube. (All rights belong to the BBC).
