Laura Dern (Jurassic Park, Blue Velvet) gives a scintillating performance in DAMAGED CARE, the true story of Dr. Linda Peeno, a woman pushed to the edge, risking her career and family to punish the ruthless companies who valued profit over human life. Trained as a doctor, Linda traded in medicine for a family life but after learning that a new type of medical insurance was treating the rich at the expense of the poor for greater profits, she went all out, using her experience to testify on behalf of patients suing the insurers. The task seemed impossible. The risks too great. But if it only takes one man to build a multi-million dollar corporation, then it only takes one woman to bring it back down.
