Big money political spending affects all facets of our society, including our nation’s health-care system. Lobbying from health insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and other health care-related interests has resulted in a dysfunctional system that is more expensive and provides less coverage than those in other developed countries.
No one recognizes this dysfunction more than those who have worked in health care.
American Promise citizen leaders Marie HenselderKimmel, Ellen Greene Bush, Robbi Duda and Lynn Horton Morrison all have worked in health care and believe that fixing our democracy is foundational to fixing the biggest issues in the health-care industry.
