“What is Health Justice and Inequality?”
with Margaret Flowers
“What is Health Justice and Inequality?” a webinar with Margaret Flowers, co-founder of PopularResistance.org. The thought of health justice in conjunction with inequality can bring to mind a myriad of issues, from costs of care to access limitations and opportunities. Did the Affordable Care Act “Obamacare” help? Should we protect what we have, or work to improve it? If single-payer is the answer, how do we get it?

She served as Congressional Fellow for Physicians for a National Health Program and on the board of Healthcare-Now! She has organized and participated in protests for health care, peace, and economic justice, which have included arrests for nonviolent resistance.
