[edit] Plot

Doctors and patients at a severely underfunded veterans' hospital rebel against bureaucracy-minded administrators by doing whatever it takes to ensure proper care.

[edit] Title

The film's title supposedly refers to a legal loophole which states that unless his illness/injury is related to military service, a veteran is not eligible for VA hospital benefits.[2]
