About this free webinar:
COVID-19 has levied a heavy toll on the health of our country over the past year, particularly for communities of color. Some of the challenges in managing the pandemic are because of our reliance on a private insurance system, which impacts access and costs of care. But poor outcomes, high costs, and lack of access are caused or exacerbated by a problem that policymakers could begin to address today—unchecked monopoly power.
Long before the pandemic, from hospitals to Big Pharma to medical supplies, the extreme market power of large corporations that put profits over people hurt patients, health care workers, and communities. If we don’t break these giants up, these monopolies will continue using their power to limit access to care and create medical deserts, while raising costs, lowering quality of care, and abusing health care workers.
On March 30 at 2:00 p.m. ET, please join Economic Liberties, People’s Action, Congresswoman Cori Bush (MO-01), and leading experts and advocates to learn why we need leaders at all levels of government to fight corporate health care monopolies to make our health care system more equitable and resilient. This is the second event in our Break ‘Em Up: Redistributing Power to the People series, which highlights how progressives can organize around anti-monopoly fights to advance economic and racial justice. The first focused on how to center worker rights in corporate power fights.
