Why Blacks have lowest Vax rates

30 million people remain uninsured. About half of those 30 million are people of color.
Fourteen states have refused to expand Medicaid under the ACA, which is one of the reasons why people of color are disproportionately likely to be uninsured today. This includes some of the states with the largest populations of Black Americans.
More than 90 percent of the people who don’t have insurance because their state did not expand Medicaid live in the South.

just tell me how you read my last post, and concluded that i think that every single job offers health insurance. Please please explain that to me.

Stating facts that show that people
of color are disproportionately poor, isn’t evidence of racism. not even close. it’s not even close to proving racism.

White people who drop out of high school and start having kids out of wedlock, also tend to get menial
jobs that don’t offer insurance.

that’s how we know it’s not about racism. race doesn’t predict outcome. the quality of the family one is raised with, and their ability to make good decisions and willingness to work hard, THAT determines outcome.

you quoted Brookings. Great! They also showed that people who follow three simple rules ( graduate from high school, work full time, don’t have kids unless you’re married) have almost zero chance of living in poverty, and that applies to all races. again, that’s proof, irrefutable proof, that race doesn’t predict outcome. if race was the factor, than blacks who go to good colleges and who work hard, would still be poor. But they aren’t.

You can’t compare outcomes if all blacks to all whites. you have to make it an apples to apples comparison. compare blacks and whites who have the same education level, things like that. it’s very very basic stuff.

you say statistics don’t lie, yet we all know you’ll deny that statistic.

You are confusing correlation with causation.

If you look at fatal bear attacks in the US, you’ll find that white people are disproportionately killed by bears. Does that mean bears are racist against whites? or is it because whites are way more likely than blacks to live in rural
places where there are encounters with bears?

a summary of the brookings study.

you quoted brookings above. and you said statistics done lie.

blacks who follow those three unbelievable simple
rules, are very very likely to be in the middle class. Those are the statistics.

That's an issue with the people running the states. It's not caused by the healthcare industry. The state legislature votes on things like that, not healthcare providers.

There are serious economic inequities by race, and that applies to healthcare. But the fact that fewer blacks have health insurance, isn't "caused" by the healthcare industry. Doctors, nurses, and health insurance companies are not the reason why fewer blacks have insurance.

You want blacks to do better? The data is crystal clear, it could not be more clear, it's simple, common sense...

encourage the black community to reduce fatherlessness, to emphasize school, to encourage strong families, allow school choice for families stuck in lousy cities.

People who embrace these things, do just fine (did you know Asians, not whites, have the highest average incomes? It's because they believe in strong families, they view education as a gift from God, and because they work their fingers to the bone so that their children can go to medical school.

Liberalism never stops undermining traditional family values, liberal policy gives big financial incentives for teenage girls to keep having babies out of wedlock, liberals oppose school choice.

Liberals do everything they can to undermine the exact policies that we know lift people out of poverty. Then, they act shocked when the people they cripple with liberalism, don't all climb out of poverty.

Its not complicated, and the results are right there in front of our eyes.

Family. Faith. Work ethic. Study and work hard. That's how you avoid poverty. Liberals just want to throw money at it, and that does very very little to solve poverty. Lack of money isn't the cause of poverty, it's the symptom. Liberalsim is like giving aspirin to someone with a headache caused by a brain tumor. It might make you feel better for a very short time, but it completely fails to address the actual problem.
