Explains the role of governmental & private health care programs & initiatives, by examining the racial, ethnic, & gender disparities in health status, health research, access to health services, & health care financing. Despite efforts to eliminate discrimination & improve access to health care for minorities & women, there has been little change in the quality of, or access to, health care for members of these groups. The result of this discrimination is the perpetuation of striking disparities in health status between minorities & non-minorities, & between men & women. Such discrimination is furthered by the failure of Fed. agencies to implement & enforce civil rights laws in the health care context.Berry, Mary Frances is the author of 'Health Care Challenge Acknowledging Disparity, Confronting Discrimination, And Ensuring Equality Volume I', published 1999 under ISBN 9780756710682 and ISBN 0756710685.
