More than half of Black Californians said there was a time in the last few years when they thought they would have received better health care if they had belonged to a different racial or ethnic group, according to a report released Thursday.
By comparison, 27% of Latinos, 12% of Asian people and 4% of white people responded the same way, the report said.
The report from the California Health Care Foundation, a nonprofit organization focused on health issues in the state, summarized results from a survey that asked more than 1,700 Californians about their views on health equity, health costs, health access, housing, their experience in the health system and more. The results come as lawmakers, health providers and public health agencies grapple with how to explain and curb longtime racial health inequities.
Kristof Stremikis, director of market analysis and insight at the California Health Care Foundation, said he was "not surprised at all" by the report's findings.
"We've known for years that there is unequal treatment within the system and there are certainly unequal outcomes within the system that should be news to absolutely no one at this point," Stremikis said. "There have been years and years of data points and studies on this very issue ... it's deeply and profoundly disappointing."

Black people feel oppressed than other racial groups. Golly I wonder why?
These poor people just cannot get a break!
Well, that makes sense since they deliberately gave the worse habits: they consume most of the marijuana, heroin and alcohol in addition to most of he fried chicken in the state. Ideal recipe for poor health.
Which Party has been running that state for the past 40 years?
The headline is totally at odds with the article
The headline said they are more likely to experience, blah blah blah
The article says they BELIEVE they are more likely to experience.
Big difference.
The doctors oppress them by telling them obesity isn’t a healthy lifestyle choice
Exactly, when educated in the “victim” mentality, one will always consider themselves to be a victim
When you’ve been conditioned since birth to claim inequality and racism as the cause of every problem you have, and the knee jerk excuse to claim more free services, of course they are going to say they received substandard health care compared to Whitey.
