It's the biggest battle of Barack Obama's first year: fixing a health care system in crisis. Plagued by both spiraling costs and tens of millions uninsured, lawmakers have worked at a feverish pitch debating how to re-tool what accounts for nearly a fifth of the American economy.

On this weeks episode of Fault Lines, we go inside the American health care system, expose its cracks, and uncover the forces that are spending millions of dollars every day to influence the debate over health care reform.

We've travelled across America -- from the desolate city streets of a dying Detroit, to the queues of uninsured looking for basic healthcare -- to give voice to millions of Americans who have fallen through the cracks, and hold those responsible to account.
