Fat Joe, Rick Ross, Busta Rhymes and more hip-hop legends teamed up with Power to the Patients for a new PSA message about healthcare transparency
“For 50 years now, hip-hop has been a reflection of culture and society, that includes stories of struggle and pain, social injustice, racial inequality [and] the marginalization of communities,” the stars state in the PSA. “Today, we confront a healthcare system that has been rigged against all of us. Hospitals force patients to sign contracts for services without ever showing us actual prices.”
With “stifling competition [and] overcharging without accountability,” the artists claim that if people can’t pay their medical costs, “these same contracts allow them to take everything we own, creating so much fear that millions and millions of Americans refuse to enter a hospital, putting out health and our lives at stake.
