Equity

Racial and ethnic minority groups throughout the U.S. experience disproportionately higher rates of illness and death across a wide range of health conditions. LGBTQI+ people also experience discrimination and certain care challenges at higher rates than their non-LGBTQI+ peers. While there have been public and private sector efforts to address health disparities and ensure equitable health outcomes, opponents of those efforts have sought to derail them through litigation.
