Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare

Though I'm a pharmacist but not in US, this film truly inspires me to rethink about the health care system and its original purpose. Thank the director for such an inspiration.

I really enjoyed the film. I am a wellness & fitness expert. I am hoping that this film helps a person understand that if you want change you have to seek it yourself. You can't depend on people telling you what to do. You have to seek the information that will help you make the changes needed to live a long prosperous life. If you want health, its not in the form of a pill, its growing in a garden. Its as simple as that. You don't need to watch hours of documentaries or read countless books. Get away from it all and focus on yourself. Always deposit your body with more food that still has the suns energy than food that is dead and you will be well on your way to perfect health. Stay Focused!

MUST SEE! pay people to get healthy, be healthy and stay healthy. We must help eachother and make that the goal. Safeway type plans are excellent.

ALL i can say is OBAMA has saved the day......i eat sleep and breath OBAMA and AL GORE

Hands down the single best documentary I've ever seen.

Why can't I rent this movie? I'd love to see it, but I don't want to own it.

Excellent movie. I almost did not rent it given the fact that the people who made the movie compared it to the Al Gore movie- An Inconvenient Truth. I was waiting for the usual liberal agenda thankfully was not really there much. As a physician I see a lot of waste in medical care and agree with most of the movie. Not mentioned is the high percentage of wasted money practicing defensive medicine. We as doctors are forced to do this given the current legal environment. It's a subject no one talks about.

Well that will be gone with obomacare. No incentive $$$ to innovate. Cause wouldn't you want to be paid if you found a cure for cancer?

Unfortunately it brings me great anger we as a society have to get to a point when these types of films are even made. Healthcare for profit system should be around patient wellness and not patient care needs to happen soon. We reward the wrong folks in medicine and healthcare insurance, lobbyists, and government need to make make fundamental changes to provide everyone with excellent preventative care for cheap and start increasing salaries for primary care physicians.

Keith B's October 7 review blaming victims of chronic, incurable illnesses for their own outcomes is such odious, contemptible, and wrong-headed nonsense that I felt compelled to leave a comment and call BS on it. So it's people who aren't "personally responsible" and who don't take their pills or show up for dialysis who are driving up healthcare costs? What complete nonsense, with phraseology and dogma straight from the mouths of Mitt and his fellow Ayn Rand groupies. Sorry, Keith B, your analysis just doesn't make sense. How about a little "corporate responsibility" on the part of Big Pharma and Big Insurance, not to mention a little "commonsense responsibility" on the part of health care providers, especially private hospital companies whose bottom line remains more important than the outcome of anyone's illness? Do you even know what happens when a kidney patient skips dialysis? Ever seen anyone enter a renal coma? How about a diabetic going into ketoacidosis from missing their insulin injection or their pills? Ever seen that happen? Could you actually be serious in suggesting that people suffering from these diseases are the reason for 300 percent-plus annual increases in health care costs? Go on, dude, pull the other one!
