With the emergence of COVID-19, we are faced more than ever with how disparities in our broken healthcare system burden the most vulnerable among us.
In this episode, we define healthcare disparities, provide real life examples of how these disparities play out for marginalized people, and acknowledge the dark history of healthcare discrimination in the United States.
Then, we talk through what needs to change within the healthcare industry and what every day folks like you can do to bridge the healthcare gap from the outside.
