Uncovered puts a human face on America's health care crisis by chronicling the harrowing struggles of the Nazaretyan family to care for their disabled children without insurance. George and Narine Nazaretyan’s twin babies were born three months prematurely and remained in the neonatal intensive care unit for fifteen weeks. When the Nazaretyan’s health insurance company received expensive medical claims, they rescinded their insurance policy, leaving the family with medical bills of one million dollars, a house they could no longer afford, and severely disabled children who needed specialized medical attention for the rest of their lives.

The film reveals the medical, financial, and emotional struggles of one family as they try to cope with a medical crisis without health insurance and makes a powerful case for the extension of health insurance coverage to all Americans.
 
 
"This emotional documentary confronts the important issues of equality and corporate greed while showing their devastating effects on one American family. "
