    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.
