This just sounds like a cop out to me. The article said a privately finded study - well privately funded by WHO? Access to health care in this nation is far more about the ability to obtain private health insurance than it is about race. No insurance = no health care. Real simple. Hispanics, blacks and Native Americans are under represented in ALL the professions - not just the medical ones. They don't have the good paying jobs that provide employee benefits like health insurance. Why don't they have the good paying jobs? At least in part due to lack of equal access to a good education. Let's face it, a school in the barrio or the ghetto or on the rez is just not going to prepare a child for college the way one in up scale suburbia will. Its not about race so much as it is about class.
