Dr. Brown has studied and written extensively about a broad range of issues and policies that affect the access of disadvantaged populations to health care. His recent research focuses on health insurance coverage, the lack of coverage, and the effects of public policies, managed care, and market conditions on access to health services, particularly for disadvantaged populations, ethnic minorities, and immigrants. Dr. Brown and the Center’s studies of health insurance coverage, uninsurance, and eligibility for public programs have been used by California’s governors, legislators, and advocates in crafting health insurance legislation and programs.

This video is just a glimpse into the corrupt and greedy world of health insurance. It is deplorable that in the 21st century Americans have to suffer at the hands of these companies and the likes of Stephen Hemsley. Health care is a basic human right. This is why health care reform is so important.
I’m a former Obama supporter. I’m just totally fed up with reversal after reversal and lie after lie from President Obama on health care.
