Healthcare facilities often serve our most vulnerable populations, especially people of color and low-income individuals.
These communities frequently rely on these facilities due to limited access to primary services.
Hospital buyouts and financialization of medicine are making the situation worse by affecting Medicaid and Medicare patients.
This trend is exacerbating health disparities, despite our efforts to close these gaps.
How do you think we can improve healthcare access and quality for these communities?
Dr. Ellana Stinson, an emergency medicine physician and president of the New England Medical Association, testified before the Senate HELP Committee.
