"Eliminating Racial Bias in American Healthcare" shines a light on the disparities people of color face in receiving quality medical treatment, leading to 84,000 preventable deaths each year. These biases, held by doctors, patients, and institutions, arise from unconscious attitudes toward race and ethnicity, and no amount of cultural competency training will solve the issue. To eradicate inequalities, the author argues for strong, evidence-based legal solutions that address implicit discrimination. This innovative plan calls for change, becoming essential in a time when the health of the entire nation is on the line.
