Racial health disparities in the United States have been repeatedly measured, demonstrated, and presented to the point where their existence is no longer in question. But still up for discussion is how to fix them, whether through sweeping legislation like this year’s federal health care reform, local efforts to improve health care access or social determinants of poor health, and/or by customizing care to better serve minority populations. But what about that time-honored American way of dealing with injustice and unfairness - why not tell disparities “I’ll see you in court!”?
