Health Care III

One more thing to think about concerning the American health care system is the disparity of health care along racial lines as well as between those with money and those without. The chasm between the rich and the poor is growing larger every day. Even the health insurance costs have risen for the poor yet are unchanged for those making more than $75,000 per year. Whites were more than 22% likely to have health insurance than Mexicans and about 10% more than Blacks, Asians or Pacific Islanders. The probability of American Indians and Alaska Natives having health insurance was the smallest of all the other racial groups. During the year 2000, 29.5% of the poor had no health insurance, despite government programs available. These are facts, not opinions; you can always voice your opinions, but it’s important to back them up with facts.
