Racial Health Inequity.

​

Let’s talk about it.

Are you thinking about updating your Grand Rounds or speaking presentation?

During the month of February, we are asking our doctors to take another look at their slides and ask the question:

“What do we mean when we say ‘Everybody in, Nobody Out’?”

​

Doctors Influence Doctors

PNHP’s Grand Rounds and speaker request programs have been great successes.

Over the years, we have filled many requests from colleagues, community leaders, and coalition groups to educate on single-payer health care reform.

Our voice and expertise matter.

Let’s make it count.

Why is it important to address racial health inequities in our single-payer primer?

Quick Facts

Institutional racism and an unjust health system are consistently leaving people of color behind.

​

In order to make single payer a real vehicle for health justice, we need to foster an environment where it can thrive...for everyBODY.

• 59% of the 28 million uninsured are people of color
• 85% of Black respondents and 84% of Latinx respondents say the government should ensure health coverage

​

Adjusting your presentation doesn’t have to take hours...we have some resources available to make this easier.

All Means All

“All Means All is a campaign to center racial equity and the elimination of minority health disparities in the creation of Medicare for All.”

The resources are there

Outstanding PNHP member, Dr. Sanjeev Sriram, has created the tools you need to update your slides.

Go HERE for slides addressing racial health inequities, from a Medicare for All lens.

Go HERE for fact sheets regarding YOUR state’s health data.

The goal of utilizing these resources is to spend time addressing Medicare for All from a racial health inequity lens.

Medicare for all won’t end racism...

...and we can’t dodge talking about this.

In what ways can you update your presentations to address how Medicare for All WILL address racial health inequities, while also addressing the work that still needs to be done?

Let’s look at common presentations...

...and add some updates

2. What IS single payer health care and who around the world has it?

Pharma Reform

• Pharma Reform
• The current system and price gouging
• How Medicare for All would lower drug prices and wipe out copays
• What are barriers holding us back?

We cannot be considered victorious...

...if we win the fight for Medicare for All, but continue to leave people behind.

P.S. Don’t Do this Alone!

Once you look at your own presentations, reach out to your chaptermates and train them to do the same!

In some circles we call this…

Train the Trainer.
