Integration, Litigation, And Transformation: Using Medicaid To Address Racial Inequities In Health Care, Ruqaiijah A. Yearby

Using nursing home care as an example, this article applies a public health policy perspective to the problem. I use empirical data to prove the persistence of racial inequities in health care, analyze the government policies that allow racial inequities to continue, and provide a solution of regulatory integration.

This article examines the post- Chaoulli case law on health care and the Charter of Rights and/or human rights legislation. It suggests that Chaoulli – whatever about its impact in the legislative arena – has had a somewhat limited impact to date on the case law concerning health care and that the Auton case has clearly had a greater impact to date. It argues that the subsequent case law points …
