Money-Driven Medicine provides the first and only look on film at the economic forces underlying – and often undermining – health care, giving Americans the framework they need to better understand and address the unmet challenges of healthcare reform in the years ahead.

The new Educator's/ Professional’s Edition DVD of Money-Driven Medicine is designed to maximize its value and flexibility in different user contexts: for teaching, training and advocacy.  The DVD contains four versions of the film:
