Documentary Short

Uninsurable: Erin Potter's Story explores the impact of the Affordable Care Act through the story of one Ohio family. Erin Potter is a young girl growing up in Kirtland, Ohio. A boisterous, fun loving 13 year-old who loves chicken fingers and Abraham Lincoln, you could hardly tell she went through multiple rounds of chemotherapy and two bone marrow transplants - all by age 8.

Audiences learn her story of undergoing treatment for childhood Leukemia through the stories of her parents and her oldest sister, Annie – and how the Affordable Care Act made it possible for her family to afford her treatment and why they still need it to survive.
