Hospitals now ranked on health equity
U.S. News & World Report’s (USN) annual ranking of best U.S. hospitals is now being joined by a separate “health equity” ranking.

The ranking, titled “Best Hospitals: Health Equity Measures,” is based on racial disparities in unplanned readmission, charity care provision for uninsured patients, community residents who accessed care at a ranked hospital, and preventive care for black residents in the community.

In an October 28 article in Becker’s Hospital Review, USN editors explained why the publication has added “equity” ratings now as opposed to several years ago. “We work primarily with Medicare data,” said Harold Chen, a health data analyst for USN. “For example, if we wanted to look at health equity along the lines of disparities for queer, trans people. (sic) That’s really difficult with the data we have. We just don’t get that kind of information with what we have.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Hey, GO FOR IT!

At least us straight white guys know where we are less likely to get the best care.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
