The struggle for healthcare in the US: The Only Doctor | Witness Documentary

Dr Karen Kinsell is the only doctor in Clay County, one of the poorest and unhealthiest regions in the US state of Georgia. Her run-down clinic has served the rural community for 22 years, but faces bankruptcy. She takes no salary and has spent her inheritance keeping the clinic open, but money is running out and if it closes, her patients will have no doctor. When a medical university plans to open a new health centre, Kinsell hopes they will offer affordable healthcare for all and employ her.
