What exactly is meant by “racial and ethnic disparities in health care”?
Racial and ethnic disparities in health care refer to the measurable differences in the specific medical treatment that is provided to people in the United States based on their race and ethnicity. Although the quality of health care is poor for many Americans, specific racial and ethnic groups continue to experience worse quality care than their white counterparts. Evidence of these disparities in treatment is strongest for African Americans and Hispanics in the United States but is also growing for Native Americans. ยป Back to Top ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
