‘NewsHour’ Profiles Debate Over Underinsured
PBS' "The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer" on April 1 featured a story about a "real-life problem that inspired a Hollywood movie": the growing number of people who, like the title character of the recent movie "John Q.," have some insurance coverage but not enough to cover the cost of some procedures (Dentzer, "NewsHour with Jim Lehrer," PBS, 4/1). An audio file of the report is available online. Note: You must have RealPlayer to hear the report.
