The Morality of Solidarity Matters

Yvonne Wesley

The history of health care in America for people of African descent calls into question the sense of morality. Years of bias and immorality based on race casts a shadow on every aspect of daily living, and health care is no exception. The point is, health care is a matter of morality. From a moral perspective, disparities in health outcomes are a stain on the hearts of powerful people. Those who governor and accept inequity as a part of life owe a debt to those left behind. In the late 1990’s America blamed much of health disparities on the lack of health insurance (Smith, 1999). However, it was the forward thinking by President Obama that created the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act in 2010 which erased lack of health insurance as the cause of inequities in health outcomes among races.
