Poverty is poverty. To be sure, it is no more FUN to be a
poor white than to be a poor black. A fatuous newspaper headline last
week told the reader the BLACKS are falling behind WHITES in the quality
of their health care. The relevant question is this : Do low income
whites have better health care than low income blacks ?
Does a middle class black person with Blue Cross get less quality
health care than a working class white without health insurance ?
It is fatuous indeed to racialize poverty. We need a
national health care plan that covers everybody. Your health care should
not depend on the vagaries of the job market.
As any Darwinist will tell you, INSIDE we are all alike.
