Seven Symptoms of Biased Health Care – The Baltimore Times Online Newspaper
Minority health care needs a check-up. Health disparities can and do kill people. Directly or in a way so subtle it is nearly impossible to quantify, unequal care creates health disparities for 47.2 million African Americans. Experiencing even a single instance of biased care signals the quality and effectiveness of the treatment has been compromised.
