About the Film
Suck It Up, Buttercup examines how corporate influence and profit pressures are reshaping healthcare, and what that can mean for physicians and patients. It brings real voices and real stakes to the screen, and it asks a simple question with complicated answers: what happens when business priorities collide with the promise of care?
