    Synopsis
    Tuberculosis in America: The People`s Plague chronicles a history that has influenced much of our modern public health policy. It is the story of a disease that, although highly curable and almost entirely preventable, has today returned to catch our country`s health care system off guard. This timely film informs every aspect of today`s health care debate, from delivery of service to cost containment, from disease prevention to social control. A two-part series.
