Former American Public Health Association president Dr. Linda Rae Murray appeared on “JAMA Live” on June 19, 2020. She discussed the ways in which COVID-19 has exposed racial inequities in U.S. health care and society, the lack of paid sick leave and safe working conditions for essential workers, and the need for greater investment in public health after decades of neglect. Dr. Murray also advocated for single-payer reform as an essential step to improve community health.
