John Q (w/ Nina Turner)
Manage episode 373592042 series 3441224
Rivka and Frank are joined by former Ohio state senator and congressional candidate Nina Turner for a heartfelt discussion about the Denzel Washington health insurance drama John Q, the story of father who holds an emergency room hostage after learning his health insurance won’t cover his son’s heart transplant. Even though the film was made in 2002, its message and themes remain as relevant as ever. Nina shares her personal experience with the American health care system and talks about the country’s desperate need for universal health care. They also explore how the health care industry dehumanizes both patients and doctors, and how the film’s clear-eyed portrayal of John Q leads to even his hostages feeling sympathy for him.
