The movie was filmed in Kansas City, Missouri. Many downtown landmarks can be seen in the intro to the movie and throughout the movie, including the Liberty Memorial.

Plot

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

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. [http://www.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm?ID=1792]
