California is a racist State. It is run by racists. Here is another example. Instead of being concerned about the health of all residents, it divides us like the South of 1960. Segregation in health is as bad as segregation in housing and education.
“The Office of Health Equity (OHE) was established, as authorized by Section 131019.5 of the California Health and Safety Code (PDF). The OHE provides a key leadership role to reduce health and mental health disparities experienced by vulnerable communities in California.
A priority of this groundbreaking office is building of cross-sectoral partnerships. The work of OHE is informed in part, by their advisory committee and stakeholder meetings. The office works with community-based organizations and local governmental agencies to ensure that community perspectives and input help to shape a health equity lens in policies and strategic plans, recommendations, and implementation activities.”
Instead of working to provide the best health for all—monies and staff are dedicated to some, based on color, not need. When will we end racism? When the Democrats Party, America’s historic racist Party (they defended slavery and still do) are in the dust heap of history.
