About the Show

Inspired by true stories, this new work explores the tragedies and pain caused each year by the American health insurance industry

From the new:

Written and produced by Anthony J. Piccione and directed by Nathan Cusson. Inspired by true stories about the tragedies and pain caused each year by the American health insurance industry, Unaffordably Unhealthy is an exploration of twelve very different people from different backgrounds and ailments across the United States, all with one common theme: They all have a good deal of knowledge and experience with how hard it is to obtain and afford health insurance, and how hard the obstacles are to get the care they need to treat their injury and illness. In short, they know the high and rising cost of what it takes to stay alive in America in 2020.
