    An odd way to state that African Americans have disproportionately high amounts of medical debt; if anything, it’s an indicator of unequal access to economic opportunities that let people afford expensive medical treatments.

    Therefore, rather than shifting the narrative into one of handouts, a better solution would be to make progress on reducing the country’s inflated medical costs—the result of capitalism being applied to the inelastic demand for essential medical services.
