"Is it a question of Color?" Discusses several issues regarding race, including personal bias. The National Healthcare Disparities Report collects information regarding differences in access to healthcare. The 2010 report stated poor people receive worse care than high-income people for about 80% of core measures. Blacks, American Indians, Asians, and Hispanics all had inferior access to healthcare compared to Whites, but at differing amounts. Clearly there are disparities in healthcare.
