USA is the only developed country where your right to health care depends on your job.
Makes sense that children in poorer families would get worse care.
While income is part of it, racism is also a contributor. From the article:
Important point.
Also Important to note that most racism is either systemic or acted out subconsciously. It's not that the providers are being deliberately racist. They don't consciously treat these kids differently; it's a subconscious act. We can say "I'm not racist" all day long, but that's not going to change things. Racism is the default in our system, and it takes a deliberate act not to be racist.
I know all this, and I'm from Bumfuck, Nowhere. Some people in these threads need to go to their local community college and enroll in a human relations class asap.
…why are you assuming that all non-white kids are poor? It said across the board, non-white kids of every race had worse health care.
I didn’t say that, but you can’t deny linking health care with employment disproportionately hurts minorities.
And to account for that, all the children they studied had insurance.
How comparable are US health insurances? Like does everyone offer the same deals or would say white tech bros be getting a more comprehensive plan than a black factory worker?
More and more workers are being pushed onto high-deductible plans that are cheaper for the employer but pushes risk onto the employee.
Most US bankruptcies over medical debt are from people who had health insurance.
And there's a million reasons why no other developed country is interested in imitating the US healthcare insurance system. Awful system.
