Q

Unique Points from the Documentary on Race/Ethnicity

A
  • Politics impact HC with example of JFK and LBJ in agreement over segregation
  • it took the Civil Rights Act + Medicare to elicit changes for blacks in hospitals and healthcare
  • Medicare stated that hospitals would not receive federal funding if they did not choose to desegregate their hospitals in alignment with the Civil Rights Act and Title VII
  • AMA was not interested in Medicare/Medicaid and fought against the development of these programs
  • Hospitals would keep the baby from the family unless they paid “x” amount of money to gain access to the baby again –> many families were okay with this as the baby would be fed
  • Southern states would pay the tuition at Northern schools for African Americans but they had to agree to come back and practice in the south however they could not gain access to the AMA association preventing their practice
  • Racism occurred in both the North and the South but it was less subtle in the South
  • In the Hill Burton Act, this led the move for construction of hospitals but it contained the “separate but equal” clause –> Emery hospital was separate but equal all the way down to the training of nurses (black and white nurses did not see each other)
  • Dentists were the only occupation that challenged the admission rights for physicians at hospitals as they practice independently from the AMA
  • Pharmacists who worked for government volunteered for inspections of hospitals to end segregation in hospitals after the Civil Rights Act Title VII
