The Equity in Health Movement I: The Ideology
- During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was not uncommon to hear progressives identify the distribution of the virus as "racist," and to call for a species of reverse racism to remedy the offense.
- The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination, which means providing special resources and special care to black patients whose medical conditions are allegedly caused by white racism.
- In 2021, the Biden administration issued an instruction to Medicare physicians to "create and implement an anti-racism plan."
- Under this rule, doctors will receive a financial bonus for doing so.
Internal Revenue Service: Enabler of Corruption
- Because they are tax-exempt, the taxpaying public subsidizes their work.
- The Internal Revenue Code (I.R.S.C.) states without ambiguity: "[Tax-]exempt purposes may generally be equated with the public good, and violations of law are the antithesis of the good. Therefore, the conduct of such activities may be a bar to exemption."
The medical schools and associations were not the only tax-exempt groups pushing illegal and unconstitutional agendas at tax-payer expense.
- An army of 501(c)(3) radical groups pushing the racist "equity in health" agenda reveals the massive scope of the forces behind these changes.
The Health & Medicine Policy Research Group
- Founded in 1980 by Quentin Young
- Emphasizing "systems of inequity and oppression that harm health and deny people of their inherent dignity," the group advocates an "intersectional approach" that focuses on "overlapping and compounding systems of oppression that affect individuals with various marginalized identities."
- According to the organization, these systems include but are not limited to racism, anti-Blackness, white supremacy, socioeconomic class inequity, gender inequity etc.
- The group has also been associated with the All-People’s Congress and the Democratic Socialists of America.
In order to improve the health and wellness of all citizens, racism must be eliminated from public health infrastructure and practice.
- To achieve this, public health professionals should "work strategically and collectively to adopt antiracist policies within their agencies and communities of practice."
- The Student National Medical Association claims: "Systematic racism, defined as a system of advantage based on race, drives economic instability, health inequity, mass incarceration, and food insecurity, which are just some of the significant contributors to disparate health outcomes seen in those with hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and now COVID-19. It is crucial that we counteract the effects of racism on our most vulnerable communities to end all health disparities."[30]
