State of American Health Care: Once the envy of the world, American medical care continues to be infected with Leftist woke ideology

Once the envy of the world, American medical care continues to be infected with Leftist woke ideology with abysmal and terrifying outcomes.

Under the term “health equity” the only parameter that matters appears to be a person’s melanin level, not his need for timely medical treatment.

Consequently:

More than 10 million nonblack Americans with chronic kidney disease may have seen their treatments or transplants delayed because of policy changes enacted after 2020.  Some of those patients now face greater risk of death because national transplant organizations have embraced racial activism.

Patients of all races deserve a formula that accurately estimates their individual kidney function, not one that favors one racial group at the expense of others. 

Then there is the Advil Pain Equity Project to end “systemic pain racism.”  It should be noted that Advil is owned by Pfizer. In fact, as explained in FortuneWell,

According to a study, three out of four Black people believe there is bias in how their pain is diagnosed. Now Advil, a popular pain relief brand, is aiming to address inequity in pain diagnosis and treatment with the Advil Pain Equity Project.

As part of the multiyear project, Advil is awarding grants to the Morehouse School of Medicine and BLKHLTH, an Atlanta-based nonprofit, to support the development of patient resources and a course for medical school students to address pain equity both in and outside of medical facilities.

Dare one ponder the possibility that this is merely “a plan to sell $50 million more in pills to Black people – disguised as a fight to end ‘pain racism?’”

Has anyone stopped blacks from buying Advil? The only time I’ve had any questions of pain management was after surgery and the nurse offered more drugs than I needed (a morphine drip when I didn’t feel too bad and just wanted something less powerful). Do blacks get told “morphine is only for white people”?

The US system is not designed to get and keep people healthy and well.
It’s designed for Grifters to keep the mun-knee flowing.

If you are well, you don’t need Big Pharma.
If you eat well, you don’t need Big Ag.

For most folks, you get sick because of poor nutrition and bad habits.

Killing babies is just an offshoot of the mun-knee machine.
