fair question, maybe i completely missed the point. i thought their starting point was that minority groups are not getting adequate medical care for economic reasons. it that is the case, they would be saying that minorities are receiving inadequate healthcare because of their low income status.
maybe the point of the article is saying that members of minority groups just don't want to see white doctors?

I think there are a few that already do that...I'd have to look up some things for verification, but I could have sworn that I've heard that being done.

i know there are some out there that do that. my son's pediatrician actually keeps seeing children absolutely free of charge for 18 months after a family leaves government assistance programs. i guess the question is whether they will do it in large enough numbers to make this the answer to the problem.
