Variance of care and race

Physicians aren’t racist, says Chris Rangel. It’s about where people go for care:

. . . the poor mostly seek care at urban health centers that tend to be underfunded, understaffed, and overburdened. It’s basic economics. Poor people tend not to have the same access to the same quality of housing, cars, consumer products etc. that more affluent people do and health care is no exception . . .

. . . But liberals are too quick to play the race card when it comes to the unequal care given to the poor. This option is much more palatable for them than to face the realization that their oft vaunted public health care systems may be much more to blame.
