You could have been black with cash in hand and been served in a southern restaurant in the 60's as long as you were willing to go around to the back door. What's your point?

The issue isn't whether you get care or not. It's whether you get THE SAME level of care. A biased doctor may offer you different, and less effective options, Some of you people are truly idiots.

Care is certainly an important thing. Its kind of sad when you can strive to make these advances and then someone gets treated differently because they're skin color.
