An Epoch Original Documentary, “Flatline: America’s Hospital Crisis” exposes the alarming trend of hospital closures across the country, examining the root causes and its impact on millions of Americans.
More than 200 hospitals nationwide, mostly in rural areas, closed in less than 20 years. Over the next few years, more than 600 rural hospitals—nearly 30 percent of rural hospitals nationwide—are in financial distress and at risk of closing.
When hospitals close, people do not just lose the ability to access critical health care, the ripple effects reach far and wide, with many people losing jobs and local communities left in disarray. Life expectancy goes down while unemployment, crime, poverty, and death rates soar.
Directed by award-winning investigative journalist, TV broadcaster and radio host Steve Gruber, the film reveals critical information that EVERY American needs to know — as it is a matter of life and death!
