Podcast 276: Pay attention to the structural barriers that contribute to clinical inequity — Karol Watson

In this, our second conversation on race and clinical equity, Dr. Karol Watson of UCLA offers her observations on what she’s observed as a cardiologist trying to deal with treatment plans for patients who’ve lost their health insurance or have had to go to a plan that doesn’t cover what’s needed.

She reminds us that tagging people as “non-compliant” would often be better expressed as “unable to afford.”
