Abstract
This episode of "Like It Is" features Dr. E. Lavonia Allison discussing the state of healthcare in America, emphasizing that many Americans, especially poor and minority groups, lack adequate medical care and often rely on crisis services. She highlights the high costs of healthcare, disparities in health outcomes, and the underrepresentation of minorities in health professions. Allison advocates for increased access to healthcare, improved delivery systems, and greater minority participation in health fields. She also discusses programs like the National Health Service Corps, emphasizing the importance of matching practitioners to communities and the need for political action to address systemic inequalities in healthcare access and education.
