  • Such a beautifully shot and told story. You should be really proud of this. I think it's one of the best election stories on Current.

  • nicely done. certainly very engaging material and well put together

    not sure about the soundtrack though. do you have permissions for that stuff? i think you might want to consider something that expresses more of the anxiety and conflict that the subjects are dealing with.
    but i can respect not wanting to milk it.

  • A very well written and beautifully shot piece which addresses a very important issue facing this nation in the upcoming election year. This piece takes an abstract political issue and puts a very human face to it.

  • New Hampshire! NEW HAMPSHIRE!
    Congratulations Kristin.
    I'm so excited for you.

  • Superb. Really Superb. Using Hendrix at Woodstock to subliminally link Vietnam to Iraq, thoughtful questions, minimizing the interviewer and letting those at risk do the talking, pointing out the dismal state of Tricare - all were nicely done in a very short time.

    This video also raises other questions that relate to the 2008 elections. The most inept, inefficient, and mismanaged health care entities in the United States are Tricare, Native American Reservation Medicine, and the Veterans Administration (think Walter Reed Hospital). These are all administered and financed by the U.S. Government. Certain politicians would have us believe that because our government has failed in every aspect of the health care they administer, they should now be allowed to take that same expertise and give us "Universal" Health Care. Caveat Emptor, America, but I digress...

    Anyway, my congratulations on a job well done. This is clearly just the beginning for a fine young talent.

  • Well done. I thank you for touching on an issue that has yet to hit the 2008 discussion table. I look forward to seeing what answers you get in Iowa and New Hamphshire.
