Uninsured in America (2007) is part of the Free Market Cure Video Series created by filmmaker Stuart Browning about what he calls "the dangers of collectivized medicine and the benefits of free markets in health care." In the film, Browning argues that the number of uninsured Americans is closer to eight million than the forty-five million estimate provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and from the United States Census and that uninsured Americans have adequate access to health care.
Critical Review
A review of Sicko by Deroy Murdock of the National Review Online compares Sicko to Uninsured in America, which deconstructs the more common “45 million uninsured” soundbite and finds that 9 million of these people earn over $75,000 annually and can buy coverage but don’t. Some 18 million are healthy, 18-34-year-old “young invincibles” whose priorities exclude insurance.
