From the Paper:

"The study also reveals that racial and ethnic minorities are much less likely to get treatment for serious conditions including HIV and cancer. According to the Institute patient and provider attitudes combined are to blame for the inequality that exists. The study suggests that "system-level factors" exist that contribute to racial and ethnic inequality in the healthcare industry, and that among these are language barriers, geographic barriers, cost containment pressures such as those imposed by managed care and even attitudes and beliefs."
