Health Administration

In this short audiobook, R.W. Murphy makes the argument that the US healthcare delivery system is irreparably broken as the result of a perfectly inelastic demand curve for healthcare goods and services. In essence, he indicates that Americans will buy the same number of units regardless of price and that is destroying the system. He points to all the retail level cost control initiatives to date as failing to address wholesale pricing pressures. His premise is that underlying wholesale cost increases have hardly been affected at all.

It is time for individuals, communities, and healthcare institutions to take action and prioritize the voices and needs of black women in healthcare. By amplifying their voices, promoting diversity in clinical trials, advocating for policy changes, and empowering black women through education, we can work towards a more equitable and inclusive healthcare system.

As a Black woman, managing chronic illness and disabilities can present unique challenges that may not be fully understood or addressed in the healthcare system. The intersection of race and gender in healthcare for Black women often leads to disparities in access to quality care, leading to negative health outcomes. Black women face stereotypes and biases in healthcare that can impact the way their symptoms are perceived and treated. These biases can lead to misdiagnoses, delayed treatment, and overall poor healthcare experiences.
