The interview was a good read right up until the end, where it went political. I don't know about the UK, but the US doesn't have any systemic inequality in availability of healthcare. Anyone can walk into a clinic or hospital and get the care they need. And no, not having money to pay for healthcare is not a racial issue. It's an economic issue.
but the US doesn't have any systemic inequality in availability of healthcare
Are you high? The inequality of US healthcare is so apparent that your country is the butt of jokes across the world, made by both Americans and foreigners. It's almost a universal truth: Water is wet, the sky is blue, in the USA you better be a rich white male with health insurance if you want good health outcomes.
Seriously normally the retort to this would be the sarcastic question of "are you even American", but in this case it would be justifiable to say "do you even live on this planet, or are you just passing through our solarsystem?"
Inequality is economics-based, not racial. A rich Black man can get exactly the same care as a White man of the same economic status. A poor white hick will get the same bad care as an inner city Black.
Systemic inequality? (Score:-1, Redundant)
