Based on the book by David Barton Smith, the film tells the poignant chapter in the historic struggle to secure equal and adequate access to health care for all Americans. Central to the story is the tale of how a national program, Medicare, was used to mount a dramatic, coordinated effort that desegregated thousands of hospitals across the country in a matter of months.
