ISPC is thrilled to welcome leading economist and former adviser to Bernie Sanders Gerald Friedman to discuss his case for why we need single payer healthcare in the US.

In his new book, "The Case for Medicare for All" Dr. Friedman recommends that we build on what works: a Medicare system that already efficiently provides healthcare for millions of Americans. Rejecting the discredited idea that healthcare should be treated like any other commodity, Friedman shows that healthcare is distinctive and can be best provided only through universal program of social insurance. Deftly exposing the absurdities of the opponents of reform, Friedman shows in detail how the solution to our health care crisis is staring us in the face: enroll everyone in Medicare to improve the health of all Americans.

Join us in learning more about the book and Dr. Friedman's perspective on why we need single payer healthcare.
