How does the design of U.S. health insurance markets contribute to racial disparities in health care? @marcellaalsan.bsky.social examines the history of the market-based approach to health care delivery and how racial inequities have been embedded into the system: www.hks.harvard.edu/faculty-rese...
Medicare/Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act gave more Americans health insurance protection than ever before. So why do racial disparities in health care still exist?
Harvard researchers explore how the design of health insurance markets in the United States contributes to health inequities.
