Want to Live Longer? Be White...It'll Be Alright!

Racial disparities in health care continue to be a problem.

Don Berwick has even commented on them.

In the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, "Unequal Treatment", it's made clear that "...many people of color receive lower quality of care than whites, even when presenting with the same health problems and the same health insurance."

Why the fuck didn't the Department of Health and Human Services want to include this in their recommendations?

("Duh...Gee...I thought those people were all killed off by Katrina?")
