MIDAS Film Screening & Wendell Potter Panel 10/15
Every day, health insurance companies make billions of dollars for executives and shareholders by denying people care. Join us for an electrifying movie about a group of young people who take on the broken health care system, followed by a discussion with national and state leaders in health insurance advocacy and reform.
Join us for an evening of entertainment and discussion about health insurance in America, and what we can do about it.
We will watch the heist movie Midas, shot entirely in Hartford, whose heroes take on an insurance monolith from the inside. We will then have a panel discussion with national health insurance reformer Wendell Potter, Midas filmmaker TJ Noel-Sullivan, Senator Saud Anwar, and Senator Matt Lesser. Moderated by Rose Ferraro.
This is a free event, we hope to see you there! RSVP here.
View a trailer of the film here.
