Officials let ICE access health data to locate migrants, alarming experts who warn of civil rights and health risks
Medicaid officials have reportedly made an agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) to allow agents to examine a database of Americans’ personal information – including home addresses, social security numbers and ethnicities.
The data sharing agreement will allow Ice to find “the location of aliens”, according to an agreement obtained by the Associated Press. Medicaid is the nation’s single largest health insurer, providing coverage for 79 million low-income, disabled and elderly people.
“This is about the weaponization of data, full stop,” said Pramila Jayapal, a Democratic US representative from Washington state, who has worked extensively on US healthcare, in a statement on social media.
a lot, lol. minority groups often have different medical needs than the majority, and ignoring those differences leads to worse outcomes for them. from a research perspective especially it’s critically important.
Any sources? Your faux academic condolescence and “intersectionalist” babble alone won’t do.
yeah i’m the one who’s babbling lol. you couldn’t bother googling ‘racial disparities in health’?

Racial disparities in health is tracking the social issues from racism both how it effects patients views on themselves and their care providers view of them.
The actual mapping of phenotype and hereditary to health based on it is not. It’s a step above astrology as medicine, but still mostly bullshit pseudoscience that was wrong 200 years ago and has only gotten less scientific.

So have women. I haven’t heard of higher death rates in regions (known as “the civilized world”) )that do not differ their patients by “race”.
You’re stupid ass moron. That’s all the “source” needed.
