Daria:
My current provider is the VA and I have never experienced or heard of any racial discrimination by the VA. Prior to switching to the VA for my healthcare I was spending in the neighborhood of $650.00 a month for quality health insurance for myself and my family. A common thread in your attachments is “uninsured tend to be disproportionately poor, young, and from racial and or ethnic minority groups” and another states “black men generally get fewer PSA screening and are more likely to be diagnosed with later stage cancer and are less likely to have health insurance “. Another attachment laid heavy blame on “bad lifestyle choices”. If I, or my family received better healthcare than an unemployed and uninsured person, regardless of skin color, I am OK with that. I don’t believe for a second that it has anything to do with racial discrimination. Marty |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Patently false statement that skin color has no impact on healthcare. Unless, of course, you have evidence -- a study that found no inequities? Just one? In the meantime: |
