To examine this we need to investigate the quality of medical treatment and care Indigenous patients received in segregated federal funded Indian hospitals. The Indian hospitals had to run cost efficiently therefore it is not surprising that they were inadequately staffed. The hospitals were not intended to aid Indigenous people; rather they were established to segregate them from the white society.…

    This argument affects the merit of the company. If a company were only to be worried about not discriminating against a minority group, then they would tend to lean back from hiring the white male and would hire, for example, the African American female. But while doing this, if the white male were to be more qualified for the job, then that is an argument of merit. Members of a historically discriminated group are in effect not necessarily victims; consequently, compensation is not necessarily owed, in this case, hiring the African American female. Hettinger has a list of reason of how failing to hire the most qualified person is unjust.…

    Racial Bias In Health Care

    I came across a report Racial Bias in Health Care and Health penned by Dr. David R. Williams and Dr. Ronald Wyatt which discusses racial and ethnic disparities from a health care perspective and why steps should be taken to address it. He shares his experience when confronted with implicit and explicit bias as a patient at a local hospital. Implicit bias is behavior that results from subtle implicit attitudes and implicit stereotypes that often happen unconsciously and without any overt intent. I personally connect to this article as I recall several instances where my mother, grandmother and I were involved with medical personnel who we felt treated us negatively due either to biases, microagression, lack of cultural humility/sensitivity,…

Despite the abundance of healthcare facilities, technology and pharmacology and other aspects to which the U.S. is envied by others, something that should be accessible to everyone, is not.
