COVID-19 has taken the world by storm this year. Countries have handled the virus with varying degrees of success. In the United States, we have seen deficiencies unique to our healthcare system: millions have lost their health care coverage, hospitals have laid off essential healthcare workers due to crumbling finances, states have competed for essential supplies, and patients have survived the virus, only to face catastrophic medical bills. And of course, these deficiencies, along with serious infections and deaths, have taken an outsized toll on people of color.

Dr. David Gill has been on the front lines of the pandemic working tirelessly in emergency rooms in Central Illinois. On August 21st, he will analyze how our healthcare system is handling the pandemic. And he’ll discuss what a healthcare system under single payer could look like. Register here for the meeting.
