An Interview with Pat Spurgeon

Filmmaker Jim Granato sat down to interview Pat Spurgeon more than a year after D TOUR wrapped. Pat is still on tour and feeling well, but his experiences have given him a unique perspective on the state of the U.S. healthcare system and the prospects for reform.

In these clips, Pat discusses his ongoing health challenges, maintaining a strict dialysis diet on the road, and the bands he’s got on repeat on his iPod.

You must have flash 9 to view video.
Pat has never had traditional health insurance. (2:15)
