Consejo de Latinos Unidos

Consejo de Latinos Unidos (CLU) is a non-profit healthcare advocacy organization focused on protecting the rights of uninsured and underinsured patients in the United States. The organization is widely recognized for its "Fair Pricing" campaign, which targets predatory hospital billing practices and seeks to ensure that self-pay patients are charged rates comparable to those paid by insurance companies. CLU provides direct assistance to individuals facing overwhelming medical debt and advocates for systemic transparency in healthcare pricing. By leveraging public awareness and legislative engagement, the group works to eliminate price discrimination against vulnerable populations. Their efforts have historically led to significant policy changes and settlements with major hospital chains regarding charity care and billing ethics.
