Journal Article
Something’s got to give: How do we improve care for minorities, dual-eligible medicare, and disadvantaged patients?
2023
Overview
This study highlights the implications of surgical disparities on health care spending. The strengths of this study include pinning down the potential etiologies of how surgical disparities contribute to excessive spending. Prior studies have focused primarily on individual social factors, yet this study takes into consideration the financial implications of disparities from multiple levels.6 Black patients face more challenges in cancer care in part due to late stage presentation and diagnosis, as well as increased exposure to risk factors that place them under a disproportionate burden of disease and risk of post-operative complications.7 We commend the authors for broaching this rarely discussed and costly combination of minority race and dual eligibility contributing to a “multiple hit” phenomenon that our most vulnerable patients face.
