Are you telling me the below is not something that is needed for the Black community? I can bring up multiple articles and charts that support Black men not getting the health care they need from either trust in care, misinformation, or expenses.So if we dont trust doctors or "understand the importance of going to the doctor", then that means black men dont care about Healthcare. So why is that on the agenda for black men? And what black men have enough crypto assets to care if they are protected. Most of us invested in crypto completely understanding we can lose it all. Crypto is a hail mary yolo play for most of us,not an "investment" /asset we are worried about being protected. Its mostly unregulated and mostly garbage just like the stock market lol.
Michelle Obamas agenda was far better than this one. Made it a point to get to the kids early,and even ban certain foods and regulate the ammounts they could have.
This is the disconnect i am talking about. These seem more like ideas she was given from corporations,healthcare industry and millionaires to enrich themselves.
How does a black woman who went to an hbcu not understand what the black people actually care about or want?
I said we needed knowledge of self added to the cirriculum and was laughed out of a thread. But yall trying to sell us that teaching black men about how good doctors are is a tangible
● Launch a National Health Equity Initiative for Black Men. Vice President Harris knows that Black men face elevated risk of health conditions like diabetes, sickle cell disease, prostate cancer, and more. That’s why she will cap insulin costs at $35 a month and out-of-pocket spending on prescription drugs at $2,000 for all Americans, bringing down costs for Black Americans—who are two-thirds more likely to have diabetes and are more likely to report rationing their drugs because of cost concerns. She will also expand preventative screening programs, including prostate and colon cancer screenings, where the risk factors for Black men are especially high. And, she will expand the budget of the National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities, fully fund the Sickle Cell Data Collection Program, and build a sickle cell database to improve prevention and treatment. As part of this initiative, she will also expand access to mental health and substance abuse treatment and work to reduce the persistent stigma around seeking such treatment among Black men.
● Increase investments in HBCU and MSI medical schools and health care programs to train a medical workforce—including mental health professionals—that understands the needs and experiences of Black patients in the healthcare system. HBCUs and MSIs disproportionately produce the country’s Black doctors and other critical health professionals and are focused on addressing health care inequalities and building a more diverse workforce for the future.
● Protect and strengthen the Affordable Care Act to ensure that the 1 in 4 Black Americans with preexisting conditions can keep access to affordable health care.
● Keep health insurance premiums down so that Black men and their families can see a doctor and get treated without breaking the bank
● Relieving the burden of medical debt, so Black men can take advantage of opportunities to build wealth and start businesses. More than 1 in 4 Black households report having medical debt, significantly higher than the rate of medical debt for all adults. Vice President Harris’ plan to work with states to relieve medical debt—the leading cause of bankruptcy in America—will disproportionately help Black Americans. She will also implement a rule that would remove medical bills from most Americans’ credit reports, enabling them to more easily be approved for mortgages, car loans, and more. Indeed, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau estimates that roughly 22,000 more safe mortgages could be approved annually as a result of this rule.
? What are her plans for the agriculture sector,since that can also effect pricing? Black men arent wrong with most of what we say about doctors. Black men are just wrong for not taking measures to not have to go to the doctor(food ,fasting,and excercise). I already explained part of the issue with food. Not that ill pretend many of us would eat healthier even if it was affordable,i have no way of knowing. But ALL americans have said thats the biggest barrier. Plus look on social media and all you see is nikkas in the gym all day. So dont tell me theres not a promotion of healthy lifestyles culturally atm. And dont tell me black men are ignorant of what im saying.
all this is just noise
