The Solomon Center for Health Law and Policy presents
Professor Linsey McGoey, Head of the Department of Sociology and Criminology at the University of Essex, Tim Schwab, Investigative Journalist and Sophie Alexander, Journalist at Bloomberg:
“Healthwashing” the Ultra-Wealthy: Money and Power in Health and Politics.”
Please join the Solomon Center for an engaging panel discussion on the consequences of ultra-wealthy influence over health systems. While there is increasing societal concern over some ways the ultra-wealthy spend their money and gain influence, spending on healthcare, often in the form of charity, is widely praised. In this panel, experts who have written on ultra-wealthy spending in health in both media and academic outlets will share their insights into how the ultra-wealthy’s exertion of control over health systems can have covert but significant impacts on both politics and wellbeing.
