Recap & Takeaways

The point of this isn’t just to have a bitch session. People are mad. They’re not only mad, but they are starting to feel really demoralized and do not know which way to turn. And so the whole point of this is Number 1 — It’s not just you. Number two — This is happening across the board. We all must come together and start talking about what the solutions are with one voice.

Not just physicians, but patients as well, and other clinicians and practitioners.

Harmful changes have occurred to healthcare very insidiously and slowly over time. The idea is to make people aware, to open their eyes through discussion, through information and through problem solving, to say, we are in a really bad place in health care right now on multiple levels, and we don’t get out of this by siloing what we’re doing.

The show will feature lawyers, lobbyists, practitioners, allies, policy makers, and more.
