I think this misses the point that we are using our dollars inefficiently. Between race and socio-economic status, the later has a stronger correlation to health and so it should be used as the main indicator directing where/how to spend those healthcare dollars. When it comes to people's health, these dollars need to be blind, or we are needlessly throwing some number of lives away each year.
