Synopsis

Based on John Grisham's novel. A young, idealistic lawyer takes on a health insurance company that denied a leukemia patient's bone marrow transplant claim — knowing the denial would likely be a death sentence.

Our Review

The insurance company's strategy — systematically denying legitimate claims, banking on the fact that most sick people can't afford to fight back — is directly relevant to mesothelioma patients.

Who Should Watch
