Health Care And "Mercy Killers"

mercykillerstheplay.com

It's hard to believe it's been five years since the Affordable Care Act--"Obamacare"--became law. 

What's less hard to believe is that many people still seek better health care laws, to further protect people from medical and economic catastrophe. 

The one-man play "Mercy Killers" debuted shortly before the law passed; it details the all-too-frequent circumstances of a man attempting to care for a sick wife. 

The play comes to Springfieldon September 20th and Eugene on September 25th. 

Creator and actor Michael Milligan joins us with an early peak at the show's contents.
