I'm sure privatizing Social Security and setting up individual tax-exempt health-care accounts will correct this problem:

Blacks dying for lack of health care
Disparities cost 886,000 lives in the U.S. in '90s

More than 886,000 deaths could have been prevented from 1991 to 2000 if African Americans had received the same care as whites, according to an analysis in the December issue of the American Journal of Public Health. The study estimates that technological improvements in medicine -- including better drugs, devices and procedures -- averted only 176,633 deaths during the same period.

Can we for once have a solution that will focus on those who need help, not those who can afford help......?
