Fat Joe Recruits Busta Rhymes, French Montana, Rick Ross to Give ‘Power to the Patients’ for D.C. Concert
Fat Joe wants to give Power to the Patients when he enlisted Busta Rhymes, Rick Ross and French Montana to join him in a concert that will take place in Washington, D.C.
According to TMZ Hip Hop, Fat Joe, who is working in partnership with the non-profit group, Power to the Patients is heading a concert with the aforementioned artists to bring attention to discrepancies in hospital charges.
Joe and the organization is slated to speak to lawmakers on Capital Hill to discuss legislation to advocate for healthcare price transparency. A news conference has also been scheduled to discuss what the lawmakers and the organization have discussed prior to the gathering.
According to data compiled by Power to the Patients, only 25% of hospitals are actually adhering to the guidelines set by the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule.
The Hill spoke to Joe to explain why he will be in D.C. fighting for equal and fair pricing from hospitals for all people.
“Our healthcare system needs comprehensive reform and I remain committed to using my platform to work alongside Power to the Patients and give a voice to the voiceless.
The All the Way Up recording artist and Power to the Patients are demanding legislation for hospitals and insurance companies to have transparency when it comes to pricing.
“We must demand accountability from hospitals and insurers, so people can get a transparent understanding of the cost of their medical bills and make more informed financial decisions on healthcare services.
“With prices hidden, often times, the bills are not even consistent at the same hospital,” he added. “It’s tearing families apart.”
Although the performers, Joe, Busta Rhymes, Rick Ross and French Montana will be in town for this event, there has been no information regarding where and when the concert will take place.
