The paper then goes on to examine the economic impact that racial discrimination has on the health care system, its consequences, and what can be done to address the problem.

From the Paper:

"Racial discrimination has been a problem in this country for many years. Ever since the days of slavery, there have been some people in the United States, and quite likely in other countries as well, that feel that one race is superior to another. Most of this is directed at the African-American population, but some of it is also directed at those that are Hispanic, Asian, and other races that are not strictly Caucasian. This problem extends to all aspects of society and due to this, healthcare is one area that is being strongly affected by this racial discrimination. This is true of both those that treat patients and those that need to be treated."
