Statistics show that our current multi-payer healthcare system explicitly favors specific racial groups over other minorities (Institute of Medicine). As reported by the Institute of Medicine, Hispanics are two to three times more likely to be uninsured than non-Hispanic whites (Institute of Medicine). Establishing a single-payer healthcare system would legally insure appropriate representation and equality amongst all citizens throughout the United States. A healthcare reform would provide security to those who need it most; the minorities. The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) published a set of collaborative data analyses, statistics, and graphs titled, “NCHS Data on Racial and Ethnic Disparities”. The data shows that Hispanics (30.3 percent) and non-Hispanic blacks (18.9 percent), non-Hispanic Asians (13.8 percent) were more likely to lack health insurance at the time of the than non-Hispanic whites (10.6 percent) in 2013 (Centers for Dieses Control and Prevention). A person against single-payer reform healthcare may feel as if they are entitled to the best healthcare because they pay for it, but this is a huge misconception. No one deserves better medical quality in a society that promotes equality. In a society that truly upholds equality, no one should be “more likely to lack health insurance”. The upper-class are not entitled to the best doctors and neither are non-Hispanic whites. We are all equal, and if people fear visiting the same doctors as poor people, then they must first except that they do not promote equality. Their ignorance is the issue not a single-payer healthcare
