Race, Class and Unspoken Truths About Obamacare
The debacle officially known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) gets a thorough decoding by Dr. Vernellia Randall, professor emerita of law (University of Dayton School of Law), who was a consultant to a health-care-reform advisory committee during the Clinton administration.
Dr. Randall, who has been nationally recognized for her work in eliminating racial and class disparities in health care, was a litigator in Portland, Ore., specializing in health-care and insurance law; a health administrator for the State of Alaska; an expert witness in the landmark State of Missouri v. Philip Morris trial that took on the tobacco industry, linking cigarette smoking to several serious diseases; and a former nurse-practitioner in Seattle, Wash.
She writes and lectures extensively on race, women’s issues and health care.
