Most blacks are on medicaid which they get for free - thanks to white taxpayers. Still they blame whites for their problems!!!
Serena Williams Is Calling Out Racism in Health Care
march 8 2018 Serena Williams is urging black women to “get feisty” to protect themselves from any ills they may face in the American health care system.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, black women are three to four times more likely to die during childbirth than are white women. In some places like New York, they can be up to 12 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes, according to ProPublica. Beyond the specific experience of childbirth, Serena said doctors aren't listening to black women, and she says that needs to change.
“Doctors aren’t listening to us, just to be quite frank,” Serena recently told the BBC. “We’re dying, three times more likely. And knowing that going in, some doctors not caring as much for us, it’s heartbreaking.”
According to Harvard Health, black people and other minority groups in the U.S. consistently have worse health outcomes than white people, including premature death. This may be attributed, according to an article in The New England Journal of Medicine, to subconscious bias.
