Health systems: value Black lives by helping close the racial wealth gap. Really!

What a stupid opinion piece! Who are these authors? Wannabe dictators! How deranged and obsessed are they!

How do you close a so called "wealth gap"? By force? By government expropriation and redistribution? Two wrongs do not make right!

By the way, this so called "wealth gap" has been closing progressively at least for the past several decades. E.g. what kind of home does the Obama family have on Martha's Vineyard?
The wealth among Americans of similar socioeconomic status is probably comparable irrespective of skin color and so forth.

"Institutional declarations of support for Black lives were ubiquitous in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd. The radical, transformative change demanded by hundreds of thousands of protestors across the country, however, has not been realized.
Health systems can and must help move the country in that direction. Addressing immediate social needs, such as food insecurity, housing, or access to health care, as some health systems are now doing, is important. But to truly value Black lives, they must also be willing to tackle one of the most upstream drivers of racial health disparities: the racial wealth gap."
