The US healthcare system disadvantages poor individuals, predominantly women, leading to poorer health outcomes compared to others. Medicaid patients experience higher mortality rates, particularly during childbirth, and women in nursing facilities died from COVID at significantly higher rates during the pandemic. The system's structure perpetuates a two-tier healthcare hierarchy, influenced by factors like ageism and racism. The 'One Big Beautiful Bill' exacerbates these disparities by imposing work requirements for Medicaid recipients while offering substantial tax benefits to wealthier individuals and corporations. This highlights the hypocrisy of government healthcare subsidies and their societal perceptions.
The US healthcare system has long disfavored poor people, with most of them being women, who face worse healthcare outcomes than others.
Medicaid patients face higher mortality rates and complications during childbirth, reflecting disparities in healthcare quality and access.
The 'One Big Beautiful Bill' embodies healthcare apartheid by imposing punitive work requirements on Medicaid recipients while benefiting wealthy individuals through tax cuts.
Federal healthcare subsidies are pervasive, yet Medicaid remains stigmatized, revealing hypocrisy in societal attitudes toward vulnerable populations.
