A comprehensive report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine has revealed that structural racism and environmental factors have significantly contributed to poorer health outcomes for minorities. The 300-plus-page document highlights that racial and ethnic inequities remain 'fundamental flaws' in the U.S. health care system. Despite legislative efforts and increased awareness over the past two decades, these disparities persist in every state. The report underscores the lack of improvement in health inequities over the last 20 years. Avonia Richardson-Miller of HMHNewJersey noted the growing number of regulatory mechanisms assessing health equity in today's health systems.
