Chicago is one of the most racially segregated cities in the country and has one of the worst records on health disparities by ethnicity and economic class. Responses by major public and private institutions have been ineffective at best, and at worst actively sacrifice public health to the interests of big corporations. Wall Street’s demand for ever higher profits for health insurance and pharmaceutical companies exacerbates disparities instead of addressing them. Dr. Steve Whitman will present information on health disparities in Chicago. Unions and community groups working against disparities and toward health care justice will be solicited to join in the discussion. An open discussion of possible solutions will follow.
