Thank you for posting this Johns Hopkins. I believe healthcare miss the curve to change the system in the 80s when HMO/PPO came into play. Healthcare is antiquated because we have allowed it to be. I can remember community healthcare mobile units. They a gave checkup, immunizations and followed up in community clinics. The disconnect It how diet & exercise play key roles in healthcare. When will we make the connection to slowly close the gap????

In the UK we have a beautiful system called the National Health Service where medical treatment is completely free for everybody! I cannot believe that the wealthiest nation in the world cannot afford to provide this for their citizens. We all have to pay some extra tax but it works very well. I know you hate taxation in the USA due to your brutal form of capitalism but it would be tremendously beneficial to your society if you could implement a free point of care health system. It also makes sense in terms of GDP, and cuts down on healthcare inflation and removes the conflict of interest. I believe Obama was trying to make some progress with this.

Gaz Hazzler Healthcare is a privilege, not a right. You can’t blame anyone else for you not getting healthcare. You also can’t provide free healthcare, because that would add trillions. The solution is to make the government very small, so that way costs of medicine can be controlled by private corporations. Anything the government gets involved in, it becomes more expensive.

invest in your health if money is an obstacle...stand in mindset, fight back with better choices...poor sector is eat or pay out of pocket for expensive heathier choices. Option is be anther statistic or be a better determinant as one disproportionately dealt with as excluded from the table of policies… a difference in someone's lifetime even not ones own...a liberated future...yes... amputees, heart disease,, victims of environment...etc.., voting matters but daily..being courageous and strong and push for training and better choices of high quality healthcare to communities of need...its not a poor people problem. Its a global community challenge. God bless us who succumb to the effects of choices and non choices to historical disproportionate factors,...thank you for your strength in the struggle!! you impact well. you got it right. rally the communities today...and tomorrow with videos like these. you impact the future...as long as we live. rest in peace...rest in faith… to all suffering under health disparity

That doctor's comment discussing why people don't invest in their health seemed extremely insensitive and ignorant, especially for someone working in Baltimore.

@Yankeejumpman2352 3 жыл бұрын

It is important to look at the context of that doctor’s question. I don’t believe it was insensitive or ignorant. There are many mitigating factors that contribute to these health disparities and why, objectively speaking, it seems that patients are not investing more into their own health. The doctor’s question was an inquiry of why this is happening. Like the young lady said in the beginning of the video, her daughter came back from college with a changed diet that was very different than what she grew up with, because in her own youth healthy eating was not a topic of conversation. That was just the reality. That is just one example of ways to answer the question of the doctor as to why people don’t invest more in their health. Not being judgmental, but rather an attempt to ask why this is happening to then get to work on how to fix it.

@m-sama2140 Жыл бұрын

@@mariamelendez7361 to say she died of radium "overdose" isn't exactly correct. The cause of her death was her cancer metastasizing to the rest of her body, leading to her urinary tract being blocked by tumors and her death due to her body being unable to remove toxins that would typically leave the body in urine. However, while the radium wasn't the direct cause of her death, it did most likely weaken her immune system enough that the cancer was able to spread.

So sad to see this. People thinking it is diet choices- but it is social determinants of health by policies. This is bullshit. Patients do not invest because they cannot. Because of systemic racism. Healthcare systems are dangerous and violent institutions including John Hopkins. They are hyper capitalistic machinery where all forms of racism intersect- capitalism, policing,, bias, incarceration etc. This video is a poor way of explaining the real root causes of disparities. As a doctor who is heavily invested in fighting these systems this video makes me want to make video showing the true reality of these systems intersect .

If someone does not have the resources to pay for their health care, are they to blame? This video shows everything wrong with the US health system. Yes, we want people to take responsibility for their care, but it seems that minority groups are being asked to give up so much more than those who have money and resources.
