reality, how to pay for help? There are so many police and hospital shows shows nurses, doctors, police, investigators, and surgeons and more bursting thru walls, running down halls, desperate to save patients. Total BS!

Go to any hospital: no one is running down a hall, bursting out of an elevator, screaming for help.

Why don't shows focus on the difficulty families have to face who do not have insurance, or have limited coverage, or had good coverage but the hospitals, doctors, and extended care used to its limits and now the families of the sick or injured are faced with paying bills in the millions of dollars?
Why isn't there a show which teaches people how to work the system? How to avoid bankruptcy to help a loved one?

I like the show House, ER, and other med and cop shows but the reality is: to save a loved one costs money, lots of money, and insurance that doesn't want to cover a cent but will take 1000$ for years from the insured. Why don't they demonstrate the unfairness in entitlements which government officials earn which the tax-payers don't?

In a decade where "reality" television is a hit: can we please ask that "reality" be shown?
