2. I wasn't giving it rapt attention

But it seems like it's gonna be an important series.

I just wish stuff like this, especially "Frontline," weren't just on PBS.

3. Unfortunately The People Who Need To Watch Rarely Do

This is a no brainer for the rest of us.

4. I wonder if it mentions the work of Helen Keller...

She became a Socialist because she realized that poor people, in addition to being exploited by capitalists, are kept in such atrocious conditions, with little access to health care, that leads to things such as her own condition of blindness and deafness. This is also why she was a great advocate for free pre-natal and post-natal care.
