"I am not a bum. I'm a mom. Please help." That's what Sheila Wessenberg wrote on a coffee can when she was forced to panhandle to save her family from medical bankruptcy. Overwhelmed by financial loss and terminal illness,'
this 44-year-old mother of two was running out of time and options. Wessenberg, who had a mastectomy, lost her coverage when her husband lost his job. Within a year, the Wessenbergs went from living in a luxury townhouse on an income of over
$100,000, to facing bankruptcy and desperation. The film reveals the reality behind America's dysfunctional healthcare system and what it means when access to care is denied.
