The universal healthcare failure harms all racial groups, not only Black and Latino Americans

Evidence

People of color continue to suffer most from the failure to resolve these arguments; Black and Latino Americans still have the highest uninsured rates in the country and still shoulder a disproportionate share of the nation’s poor health outcomes. But they are not alone. After all the debates and elections and bills and lawsuits, millions of Americans—of every race, ethnicity, and political persuasion—still don’t have health insurance of any kind, and millions more are still forced to ration crucial medications, or to forgo critical procedures, or to choose in some other way between receiving healthcare and meeting other essential needs. — Nikole Hannah-Jones et al., The 1619 Project, 1179
