I live in a poor white rural community and the political inequities experienced here are atrocious. For example, although my state's life expectancy exceeds that of the nation, the county I live in is considerably shorter. The upstream decisions don't take us into account at all.
None of us can accept "returning to normal" in a post-COVID-19 world. A "new normal" is overly simplistic to inspire a revolution of change in healthcare. Rather, we must shift the paradigm to strategically address and transform the systems and inherent inequities to provide Black and Brown people an opportunity to choose optimal health.
