This is episode 27, “Stop Using Health Insurance Industry Language”
My guest, Ben Palmquist, is the Health Care Program Director for the National Economic and Social Rights Initiative (NESRI). He does research, communications, and strategy to help grassroots organizations build power to win universal, publicly financed health care and to transform our economy and public policies to meet everyone's needs and put people ahead of profits.
Do not miss this episode as Mr. Palmquist describes how we use language developed by the health insurance companies to describe a publicly financed health care system.
