Abstract:
The paper begins to discuss healthcare disparities faced by racial and ethnic minorities and the low
quality of healthcare they received, also arguing that disparities will continue until drastic change occur.
After discussing the newly passed healthcare bill, we ask if its implementation will reduce those
disparities. As discussed, while progressive analysts response will be affirmative, for conservatives
analysts disparities will even become worse. To enhance my teaching of MHA courses, these issues will
be discussed, and new media, which can provide more information to students and would make them
more actively engaged, would be utilized.
