“The Privatization of Everything,

including Our Healthcare, and What We Can Do About it”

Donald Cohen

 

This meeting is particularly timely as PNHP, PSARA, and other organizations in our state are gearing up to fight the complete privatization of Medicare through the DCE/ACO-REACH models that have recently come to light.

We are very fortunate to have Donald Cohen as our speaker. He is the founder and executive director of In the Public Interest,  a national research and policy center that studies public goods and services. He is the former political director of the San Diego-Imperial Counties Labor Council. He is the founder and former executive director of the Center on Policy Initiatives, a San Diego-based think tank and policy organization. He is a founding board member of PowerSwitch Action (formerly Partnership for Working Families.)

His opinion pieces and articles have appeared in numerous publications including the New York Times, Reuters, the Los Angeles Times, The New Republic, The Nation and other online and print outlets.

Donald is currently on the board of the Ballot Initiatives Strategy Center. He’s the co-author (with Allen Mikaelian) of The Privatization of Everything: How the Plunder of Public Goods Transformed America and How We Can Fight Back. You can read this book before the meeting ordering through Barnes & NobleBookshop.com, or Amazon

He is also the co-author of the forthcoming book in October 2022 in (with (Seattle’s) Nick Hanauer and Joan Walsh) of It’s Never Our Fault (And Other Shameless Excuses.) He lives in Los Angeles.
