I highly recommend it for focusing on the real people that are affected, and who are often not mentioned in what can be a politicized, detached debate on what to do about health care coverage. Clearly, everyone must be provided health insurance coverage somehow; people are dying needlessly without it, and society as a whole is suffering because of this.
