Title: “Unnatural Causes: In Sickness and in Wealth”
Intro: “Unnatural Causes: In Sickness and in Wealth” is a 2008 film by Larry Adelman about the underlying factors in one’s life that can help explain why someone might get sick.

Access to healthcare will diagnose the problem but it does not mean that the problems will be solved. For example: a wealthy person develops a terminal cancer, it doesn’t matter how many times they see a doctor, and they’re still going to die.
