Die-beetus beez rayciss!
Prompted by a ProPublica story that detailed how Black Americans with diabetes lose limbs at a rate triple that of others, the American Diabetes Association has included an initiative to prevent unnecessary amputations as part of an unprecedented campaign to reduce racial disparities in diabetes care.
Dr. Gary Puckrein, the head of the National Minority Quality Forum, a nonprofit focused on reducing health care disparities, said that the ADA's efforts are just a step. "The American health care system was organized during an era when inequality was acceptable and mainstream in American society," he said. "It's not that African Americans are sicker, it's that the health care delivered is unequal."
Yep, dy beez raycisss.
