Healthcare for Whom explores the racial economic implications of one of the most important human rights issues and public policy debates of the day: healthcare.
UFE's eleventh annual MLK Day report–Healthcare for Whom?–explores the racial economic implications of one of the most important human rights issues and public policy debates of the day: healthcare. The report looks at both disparate health outcomes–driven largely by racial segregation and concentrated poverty–and the current state-by-state fights over implementing the Affordable Care Act.
The report also includes the latest data on racial disparities in education, employment, income, poverty and wealth that indicate the dream of racial equity, as so clearly articulated by Dr. King, remains unfinished.
For the first time, this MLK Day report includes an "organizers toolbox" with a series of interactive workshops organizers can use at local worker centers, union halls, church groups, and community groups to examine the causes and consequences of the racial wealth divide and move people to action.

Housing is another, instead of closing the gap on homelessness more people are becoming homeless. It gets worse and worse. The sad thing is most people don’t realize they are drowning until it’s too late.
Gaming out our current way if life, eventually there will be a line of those that gave and those that don’t. Let’s all hope we change things before that moment becomes reality. We don’t need civilization to die to make righteous changes to include everyone not only some.
