Coronavirus doesn’t discriminate, but racial disparities in our health care system may mean Black and Brown families aren& #39;t being tested or treated equally for COVID-19. @RepPressley and I want @HHSGov to find out. https://apnews.com/c0e58c2e0de70169ef000ce3666c285a">https://apnews.com/c0e58c2e0...
Decades of structural racism have prevented people of color from accessing quality health care, affordable housing, and financial security. The coronavirus outbreak is blowing these disparities wide open.
Comprehensive demographic data on who is being tested & treated for coronavirus doesn’t exist. @RepPressley & I aren& #39;t going to let up until we see @HHSgov collect solid data & make real progress to ensure communities of color have equal access to free testing & treatment.
