Pre-Existing Condition: Performance and Group Discussion on Healthcare in America

The assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson re-energized conversation around the US medical system, particularly the role of middlemen like insurance companies. We’ll be showing an excerpt from a dance-theater piece about that event, as well as the large-scale policy issues surrounding it. The 10-minute performance will be followed by a facilitated group discussion. More details.
