In March 2003, internationally-acclaimed photographer Ed Kashi and writer Julie Winokur published Denied: The Crisis of America's Uninsured. In this 112-page illustrated book, Kashi and Winokur document the magnitude of the current health care crisis through individual testimonials, photo essays and family snap shots. These materials recount intimate stories that communicate the issues in a way that is highly charged and deeply moving. In total Denied: The Crisis of America's Uninsured shares 41 stories - one for each million uninsured people in America. These materials also resulted in an exhibition that was shown at Union Station in Washington, DC, and in New York City at Lighthouse International, Bellevue Hospital and the Empire State Building. The book is available through Talking Eyes Media (www.talkingeyesmedia.org).
