We are Reimagining Healthcare

We understand the challenges of clinicians, patients, and leadership firsthand, and we are addressing workforce distress.

Share Your Story of Corporate Greed in Healthcare

The Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division, and the Department of Health and Human Services have launched a cross-government public inquiry into private equity and other corporations’ increasing control over healthcare. The FTC also just hosted a workshop on this issue.

In response to the government's request for information, this is a momentous opportunity to speak out about the changes you've seen - as a practitioner, an administrator, or as a patient - with healthcare corporatization.

Did your hospital or practice reduce staffing after joining a bigger system? Is it harder to see your doctor after her practice was bought out? Or to get tests done and see physicians who work at systems outside of your doctor's health system? The FTC, DOJ, and HHS want to know how Big Med has made your care riskier, costlier, harder to get, or lower quality.
