He emphasized that health is influenced by broader social & political factors than genetics & access to quality care. Health can be shaped by #narrative & right now the White House is pushing an exclusionary narrative. But reporters can shift that narrative. #healthinequity #healthpolicy #reporting

Health inequities in medical crowdfunding: a systematic review - International Journal for Equity in Health Background Medical crowdfunding has emerged as a popular strategy to offset healthcare expenses in contexts of limited insurance coverage. While often framed as a democratizing and accessible financia...

This #SysReview suggests that medical #crowdfunding is less a tool for mitigating health disparities, but rather reproduces #HealthInequity (barriers to #HealthCare access meet lack of financial resources and capacity to run campaigns):

When care is unequal, outcomes are unequal. No amount of personal responsibility can fix systemic harm.
