Racial and ethnic disparities in health and healthcare continue to be widespread. Research has repeatedly confirmed that members of racial and ethnic minority groups in the US are more likely to experience disparities in care, including having an increased risk of being uninsured or underinsured, lacking access to care, and experiencing worse health outcomes for treatable and preventable conditions.
