American Hospitals is the fourth in a series of documentaries produced by the Unfinished Business Foundation, founded by Richard Master, CEO of MCS Industries Inc., who took a deep dive into the economics of the U. S. health-care system after his company was hit year after year with double-digit health insurance rate increases. Master teamed up with filmmakers Vincent Mondillo and Henry Nevison to produce Fix It: Healthcare at the Tipping Point; Big Pharma: Market Failure; Big Money Agenda: Democracy on the Brink, and now, American Hospitals.

American Hospitals takes a deep dive into the out-of-control cost of hospitals and their transformation into a money-driven big business. How can we incentivize hospitals to provide the highest quality care with the lowest affordable cost to the community?

This Wednesday, October 22, a coalition of organizations working to better public safety in Ohio led by Ohio Families Unite Against Police Brutality and OFUPAC will host an O22 2025 Memorial Press Conference inside the Ladies Gallery at the Ohio Statehouse. October 22 is the National Day of Protest Against Police Brutality, and this year we will use our collective voice to honor the more than 1200 Ohioans whose lives have been cut short by police brutality in the state since 2000. Out of Ohio's 88 counties, 78 are home to families with loved ones killed by police brutality.

This year’s O22 memorial event will take place inside the Ladies Gallery of the Ohio Statehouse from 10:30am-noon. Speakers will include families who have lost loved ones to police violence, and State Representative Darnell Brewer (OH-22), who will be introducing new legislation.

Speakers will share more about their loved ones while highlighting legislative solutions to strengthen our public safety systems. OFUPAC will also release their new policy brief, titled How We End Community Violence in Ohio. 

At the Newark Octagon, the Major Standstill is fading away. When the moon rises at its astronomically northernmost point on the eastern horizon every 18 to 19 years and pauses before returning southward. Aligning with or “framing” this lunar event, of course, are the corridor walls of this Native American-built earthwork.

The No Kings Downtown Columbus protest was slated for 4:00 pm during an OSU football game Saturday. No Kings is a nationwide protest which rejects Donald Trump’s authoritarianism. Around the country, seven million people attended No Kings Saturday 10-18-2025.

The importance of these No King’s protests is simple: We don’t want a fascist government. Trump is using secret police in an attempt to intimidate free speech. At No Kings, people protest in rejection of Trump’s opposition of constitutional promises we were taught in elementary school.

No Kings protests fill the streets in every major city with people who don’t like a campaign promise Trump kept: Trump’s vow to act like dictator.

Under Donald Trump ICE works as gestapo secret police force that kidnaps people and ships them into for profit prisons indefinitely. Trump fired people for working while black. Trump opposes free speech unless it’s a complete lie for white supremacy.

Billionaires are converting the government into their private slush fund and just passed the largest wealth giveaway in the history of the US. The money they take from our families, they put in their overstuffed pockets.

Just like any bad boss, the way we stop the takeover is with collective action. We are working people rising up to stop the billionaire takeover–not just through the ballot box or the courts, but through building a bigger and stronger movement. We are fighting for a country that is more fair, just, equitable, and free for all of us — not just a chosen few.

Thousands of communities across the country are taking a stand to demand #NoKings and #NoBillionaires this October 18th. We will be in the streets, outside the offices of the corporate criminals who are behind the attacks on our freedoms, and at congressional offices. Together we will demand a country that puts workers over billionaires.

OUR DEMANDS TO BUILD THE SOCIETY WE ALL DESERVE:

Stop the billionaire takeover corrupting our government.
