Level Ground: Eliminating Health & Social Disparities

The pandemic has exposed long standing health disparities in the U.S. Offering equitable health care can lead to a more efficient healthcare system overall, as a healthier population requires less medical care.

How can low-income patients and underserved populations get access to the healthcare they need? What barriers to health equity need to be addressed and reformed?  Are the prescription drug benefit programs working as the government intended? And how do we move to a place where all Americans can afford the cost of prescription drugs?

Join The Hill in person as we bring together policymakers, health experts and patient advocates to talk about what changes should be made to make healthcare equitable for all.
