No full textIn 1994, I wrote two editorials in the Association of Black Cardiologists’ Digest of Urban Cardiology, titled “Healthcare Reform” and “Healthcare Discrepancies in Minorities.” At the time, I was convinced that with a consistent, energized and committed effort, the CV community would soon recognize the negative impact of the multitude of inequities that resulted in poorer CV outcomes for underrepresented minorities and women. I was also convinced that once enlightened, our community of providers would accept the challenge and provide the necessary tools, leadership and resources required to resolve the disparities gap.
The first acknowledgement of the disparities gap in

I disagree. Health care reform could provide better care at less cost by replacing individual mandates with a single-payer national health care plan financed by taxes. Congress’s power to mandate purchase of private products sold at a profit is disputable, but Congress’s power to tax is not
