Thats most people. But black people dont want to spend the money unless absolutely necessary.

Long history of getting fukked in the worst ways by the medical field; plus capitalism had medical costs at all time highs

But I agree we must change the trend and go to the doctor early to detect early problems

 

[Chesirecatdaddy]

Cuz $$$$$$$

Yep

Another reason is because of pain. Black people dont go to the hospital unless the pain is unbearable.

Yes. That money can be better spent on investments like Js.

I understand what you mean but I think the issue is deeper than that. African American's are an URM in medicine so the odds of seeing a physician that looks like you is slim, and most minorities feel more comfortable being treated by someone who looks like them. Many feel white doctors don't treat them with the same amount of care and precision, whether or not that's true is entirely speculation and dependent on that particular patients interaction with that particular physician. One could even cite past historical events pertaining to healthcare involving AAs. I hate that it exist, but there's an understandable level of distrust.

Universal healthcare, the real kind, is a pipe dream in America. These hospitals scam everyone and run it like a business instead of a hospital.

When I had my parents insurance I didn't wait. I don't like to delay feeling better. Now I don't wanna pay.
