Our healthcare system is failing us. How did we get here?

Join us for the first in a series of explorations into how our healthcare system got to this point, and what we can do to transform it into one that meets the needs of poor people and communities of color.
Financialization in Healthcare: Lunch and Learn Series
Our healthcare system is failing us. It’s bound up in structural racism that is literally killing people of color, and it’s more focused on delivering profits to Wall Street investors than on providing patients quality, life-saving healthcare. How did we get here? Join us for the first in a series of explorations into how our healthcare system got to this point, and what we can do to transform it into one that meets the needs of poor people and communities of color. Our kickoff session from People’s Action Institute and Social Security Works will focus on the barriers of coverage denials and the impacts of financialization in Medicare and private health insurance.
