"HEALTHCARE: WE GOTTA HAVE IT!" Film made by young women of color in the 1990's explaining why we need a single payer national healthcare system.

But the people in the film are compelling, because the the case they make for single payer national healthcare is even more relevant than ever. Order from Healthcare-NOW. Paired with "The Prom."$10.
