Richard Master is owner and CEO of MCS Industries and the director of the documentary “Fix It: Healthcare at the Tipping Point.” Mr. Master is a former Eagle Scout who got his law degree, became a civil rights attorney, opened his own Washington law firm, worked on George McGovern’s 1972 presidential campaign, and then went home to run his family’s packaging business, where he saw first hand the disaster that is the American healthcare system.
Nomi Prins is the author of All The President’s Bankers: The Hidden Alliances That Drive American Power and It Takes A Pillage: Behind the Bonuses, Bailouts, and Backroom Deals from Washington to Wall Street. Her book Other People’s Money: The Corporate Mugging of America predicted the financial crisis of 2008 and was chosen as a best book of 2004 by The Economist, Barrons, and The Library Journal. In a previous life, Ms. Prins was a managing director at Goldman Sachs and a senior managing director at Bear Stearns.

After hearing Mr. Master on the Ralph Nader Radio Hour, I was excited to watch this documentary about the health care system; however, when I posted the URL on Facebook, instead of the “Fixithealthcare” graphic, it displayed a bizarre graphic saying my browser was more than ten years old! (it’s the latest version). Moreover, I could not find a way to actually watch the film! Very disappointing.
