Every day, more Americans are speaking out about how large healthcare conglomerates are making it impossible for them to access quality and affordable care. Instead of trying to improve the situation, however, giants like UnitedHealth Group threaten legal action [[link removed]] against doctors who dare to tell the truth about how they are hamstrung from providing even life-saving care patients may need.
We didn’t get here by accident. For too long, federal and state policymakers have touted the benefits of corporate consolidation and privatization of healthcare, which they promised would deliver better patient outcomes at lower costs. That experiment has failed.
Instead, we have corporate hospital systems, private equity investors, and vertically-integrated monopolies and middlemen wielding their market power to get rich off the backs of patients, workers, taxpayers, honest businesses, pharmacists, and unions. But policymakers can change that.
Join the American Economic Liberties Project on February 19 from 12 :00 -1:00 PM ET to hear from Congressman Jake Auchincloss (MA-04 ), patients, healthcare industry business owners and workers about why it’s time to break up big medicine to save taxpayers and businesses money, and restore power to patients and medical professionals.
The event will kick off a new initiative from Economic Liberties, called Break Up Big Medicine , to build public awareness around the harms of conflicts of interest and vertically integrated healthcare monopolies through forthcoming events, resources, and grassroots engagement — and push policymakers to address structural problems and consolidation in healthcare.
