Who pays for that? The fire raged past Wag Dodge and overtook the crew, killing thirteen men and burning 3,200 acres. DR. ROBY COSGROVE, CEO, CLEVELAND CLINIC: I've never looked after a healthy person. If we get Medicare to cover it, then everyone else will cover it and if everyone covers it then it becomes a standard of care. We're fighting everything for that not to happen, but it's because there isn't the funding going into primary care. MARTIN: Have you cut yourself before? 1 hr 39 min PG-13 Documentary A powerful and thought-provoking documentary that exposes the U.S. healthcare system as one designed to profit on disease rather than health.

There's the cost of covering people who simply don't have insurance or can't pay. ROBIN ROBERTS, ABC NEWS: Now to a new study that shows diet may be a key tool in the fight against cancer. If we can prevent that and even reverse it, that's how we're going to make true health care, not just sick care available. MARTIN: What I do every day, buddy.

Transcript In Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare", director Matthew Heineman exposes what he sees as flaws in the U.S. healthcare system, such as a doctor who can spend just. That may strike people as very high. Also, Doctor Reed Tuckson, he is the chief medical officer for the united health group. Trying to get Medicare to cover a heart disease program has been by far the hardest thing I've ever done in my entire life. I was on anti-depressants. WEIL: Most of this huge effort of the healthcare industry is devoted to intervention in established disease and the majority of that disease is lifestyle related and preventable. What the insurance industry's objective is, is to try to weaken those consumer protections over time and to try to influence how the law is being implemented. We want that. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I have pain, but it's more of an annoyance than it is pain. And interestingly, patients really respond to that. DR. PAMELA ROSS, EMERGENCY MEDICINE, CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA: I'm from Virginia. JONAS: What it first seems like strange bedfellows, healing oriented mind/body practices and sort of the hardcore military actually is an opportunity that they jumped at because of the pragmatic need and nature that the wars had driven them to respond to. An Entrenched System. Until my doctor said to me, I don't know what else to do for you. Healthcare reform was a good place to start, but it will do little to address the root problems. And I hope our new generation of health professionals will catalyze this social movement that's necessary and enough people get aroused enough about the situation and see it for what it is and then start some kind of grassroots movement to change the political balance of power.
