LOCATING AND RESISTING BIAS IN WOMEN'S HEALTH CARE (CONCLUSION) Race and socioeconomic status also play important roles in women's health discrimination. Study after study shows that women of color are more likely than Caucasian women to receive substandard health care, and to have poorer outcomes as a result. Minority women are less likely to get preventive care than are Caucasian women, which is particularly tragic in that it perpetuates chronic health problems that are rampant in minority populations, such as hypertension, obesity, diabetes and other major heart disease and early death risk factors. Sometimes, access to care due to poverty or lack of insurance is the problem. But many feel that biases in health care for women of color step over economic lines. And as revealed in a 1993 report on women's health from the Commonwealth Fund (a New York-based philanthropic organization dedicated to bettering health care for groups in need) even having insurance fails to guarantee adequate care for women: one-fifth of women who are insured are not covered for preventive care, the report states. , The cumulative effect of these biases is mammoth: being excluded from major research studies; poor funding for diseases that disproportionately affect women; regional, racial and age bias and pure gender discrimination create tragic endings. Unnecessary disease, disability and death are the results. The only way to get around these biases is to note them when they occur and take the opportunity to uncover your options before submitting to substandard care. In a medical crisis, this kind of aggressive consumerism won't be possible. But in most situations where elective procedures or nonemergency treatment for disease are concerned, you can and must play a role in demanding better. This book will help you to do so. *29/162/1*
