This is like claiming math is racist to avoid accountability.
Health care isn't racist and there's no systemic racism. That's just the excuse people use.
Black people do not take care of themselves and do not go to the doctor.
That right there is the problem. Stop blaming others because black people do not do anything to help themselves.
You mean there is no Black affluence in America? 2 million black millionaires and 14 or so Black Billionaires Are they claiming racism?
That definitely goes on in Colorado, I live in the co springs area was on heart & blood pressure meds for yrs before moving here, & they refuse to give to me here. They’ll let white pt go infront of you for minor issues when you’re there for heart issues
A lot of these health issues in the black community are long standing and directly related to personal responsibility. If someone chooses not to go to a doctor, do not blame anyone else. With ACA or state run Medicaid for low income people, Medicaid for seniors, there is no excuse not seek medical care. High blood pressure, diabetes, obesity can be treated BUT it has to done consistently. If you ignore the symptoms, that’s on you. Planned Parenthood has low cost screening tests for breast cancer and other female cancers. Once again, YOU must get yourself checked.
There is no racism or systematic racism in healthcare.It's just another lying deceptive move by black people to to gain superiority by crying like babies. It's pitiful they used a race card.
They're gonna blame the white people for all the diseases they have.Maybe they stay off doing drugs they'd be okay.
They're just trying to get a new lawsuit that sucks some money out of the system.I'm sure the democrats will help them
Guess what. Healthcare sucks for white citizens too! My suspicion is that the schools are just turning out pill pushers. Sickening. No pun intended.
