Or we could just go to single-payer healthcare (aka Medicare For All) like every other industrialized nation in the world and not have for-profit corporations involved in healthcare at all.

There’s always 1987's Maurice.

Well, River East being removed sucks, but it isn’t surprising. They charge the most for tickets in Chicago. The only time I’ve been there was for the Chicago International Film Festival to see BPM and God’s Own Country.
