From neonatal and primary care to emergency medicine, kids got lower-quality care than their white peers, researchers found. Disparities include longer waits and less pain medication after surgery.

    …why are you assuming that all non-white kids are poor? It said across the board, non-white kids of every race had worse health care.

      I didn’t say that, but you can’t deny linking health care with employment disproportionately hurts minorities.

        And to account for that, all the children they studied had insurance.

          How comparable are US health insurances? Like does everyone offer the same deals or would say white tech bros be getting a more comprehensive plan than a black factory worker?

            More and more workers are being pushed onto high-deductible plans that are cheaper for the employer but pushes risk onto the employee.

            Most US bankruptcies over medical debt are from people who had health insurance.
