It just amazes me that this movie, which is Reeve's first appearance on-screen since his accident, isn't available on VHS or DVD.
It seems that Lifetime has some rights to run it, but it's not listed and there seems to be no way to get feedback from them about it.
If you've not seen this movie, you're really missing an excellent show that raises some valid points about the problems of health care - at least in the United States...
The problem the mom runs into, in not only having a low paying job, are the facts that she can't raise the money to pay for her son's operation when the "by the book" insurance carrier refuses to pay for it, and the hospital is afraid of being sued for carrying out an experimental surgery on such a small boy. Meanwhile, the boy is left to suffer...until the end of the movie, that is.
