Black Californians more likely to experience inequities in health care, survey finds

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."

Inequities in health care are sometimes caused by genetic health inequities.

Black Americans need to finally step up and start taking some responsibility for what’s happening in their community. Blaming and relying on whitey to fix what are their own cultural and economic issues isn’t going to help them. Whitey has problems of their own to deal with, and they’re certainly not spending a lot of time and effort figuring out ways to drag the black man down.

Blacks were on the edge of doing it in the ‘20s with Harlem being a booming part of New York City and family stabilization was much higher. But once the race hustlers, drug dealers, and cultural destructors came in — all of them black predators — the community began to implode, and it hasn’t stopped since.

I keep waiting for a real black leader to step up and help this community to tackle their problems and stop relying on others to do it for them. Every race has had its problems. Some have just been better led to drag themselves out of it...

I know. We are so screwed. Gee, who could have predicted that open borders would lead to these disasters? Answer, every person on this forum.

The original was a classic. “The Crime Rate went down to zero percent.....what did the Mexicans get reparations, too?”

“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,”

With blacks being convinced they are treated differently, nothing will ever be good enough. If they get the exact same treatment as a white gets it still will not be good enough. Even when blacks are put in charge their failure is blamed on white supremacy. There simply cannot be accountability as it would be deemed racist. Any less-than-perfect outcome experienced by a black…ANY…will be considered racist. The majority of blacks will never be happy with this line of thinking. This is a no-win situation, which I am sure is desired by the globalists.

I am seeing memes about East Palestine noting that the government doesn’t care because this is a poor, rural, white community. The diversity, equity, inclusion movement is building up tribalism and hate.

Of course, because the have been trained to think that they are always being treated unfairly because of their race.

Black diets are absolutely shit. Black men are also notorious for “tpoughing it out” with serious morbidities. That is why their health sucks. “Care” comes too late. Racism has nothing to do with it.

Chances are many of those surveyed had to endure the indignity of being treated by motivated, intelligent minorities working their asses off in the local emergency room.
