Very compelling "real" reality telecasting. This reveals the predicament many American face when confronted with personal health issues when they lose their livelihoods, or live as part of the underclass. I hope you continue to receive funding so more of us can become better informed about the true nature of the health crisis in our country. Great work. Very compelling “real” reality telecasting.

In fact we are working on having a subtitle option for the videos. So hopefully that's coming soon. And we wish you the best of luck. The best thing you can do is forward the project on to your social network. That's how these voices will get out there and make a difference! Pete Hi Beth

(I'm deaf, so it would really help to have some captions optional.) But that's beside the point...my comment is that this is an interesting project, because many people can relate. (I myself just went on disability for my deafness and must face the prospect of not being able to afford insurance). I hope it helps the decision-makers get in touch with the needs, and come up with some good bi-partisan answers.

You've peeled back the onion to what AMERICA needs to see..pain, frustration, uncertainty, desperation for UNIVERSAL healthcare. Thank you so much for what you are doing and it's important for AMERICA to see that it could happen to anyone of us, so..NOW is the time for SINGLE PAYOR healthcare for ALL!

Like the diverse angles of stories too. Don't get to see too much of that on mainstream media since they are designed to perpetuate common stereotypes. Good rebuttal footage for those Tea-Party idiots. Keep up the great work. Great footage, real straight-talk, man…makes you want to cry. Like the diverse angles of stories too.
