The worst healthcare provided to minorities is by the Federal government's own Indian Health Services. Care is so bad at IHS facilities in South Dakota that many Native Americans seek their care at neighboring community health centers or set up their own tribal healthcare centers using casino money.

Naw...the WORST health care given to real 'minorities' is to the 'minority' of Americans who are combat wounded veterans.....

In many if not most VA medical centers....which in spite of the 'War on Terror' are still grossly underfunded...

But...for both Repubbies and Demoncraps...out of sight is out of mind...and long term health care for combat wounded doesn't really play that well on the TV...

Not as much as flag waving or the occasional visit to the hospital to pin on a medal or shake a hand..(cameras rolling...of course)

While Pres Bush is at least a welcome sight in the VA hospitals (compared to Clinton or Kerry)
the hospitals remain underfunded...and the long term care vets...are out of sight out of mind...
as Republicans seek to take the democrap's issues away....(at taxpayer expense...of course)

IMO
