“In a time of competing catastrophes, it seems worth delivering some good news about poverty and health inequality: poverty *can* be defeated, health inequalities *can* be reduced…”

This #SysReview suggests that medical #crowdfunding is less a tool for mitigating health disparities, but rather reproduces #HealthInequity (barriers to #HealthCare access meet lack of financial resources and capacity to run campaigns):

When care is unequal, outcomes are unequal. No amount of personal responsibility can fix systemic harm.

The timing is even more remarkable, given that this wondrous solution has come along at precisely the moment when congressional #Republicans are desperate for budget savings to partially offset the costs of a regressive & fiscally irresponsible tax cut.

Last week, the WSJ editorial page published an editorial headlined “The Medicaid Scare Campaign.” The thesis is that the #Medicaid cuts would “improve healthcare by expanding private insurance options, which provide better access & health outcomes than Medicaid.”

All infectious & chronic diseases disproportionally affect the most vulnerable. We all need to care about this & work to address inequities in health.
