This article reflects on the way the healthcare system has developed with respect to the black population in the United States. It is the author’s thesis that in the many years since the abolition of slavery, black citizens still have no guarantee of health care (Interlandi, 2019). Trying to find the historical aspects of this problem, the author describes the main steps that were taken within the framework of health care in order for the latter to become accessible and universal.
In their conclusion, the authors conclude that the measures described earlier are not sufficient for health care in the country to be properly developed. In terms of ethical rules for social workers, the course and content of this article violate some points. Overall, the construction of the study demonstrates a certain amount of bias. The issue of the lack of universality of medical care is considered, on the one hand, without taking into account the real social and economic problems that may have affected the situation.
Moreover, the idea stated in the conclusion does not fully correspond to what the authors wrote at the beginning of the article. The conclusion of the study is that the U.S. cannot guarantee health care for every citizen (Interlandi, 2019). For an article like this, with little evidence base, such a claim seems unfounded. If there is such a global problem, it should be approached by treating all nationalities and races, including research into the problems of providing care to different social minorities. Moreover, it is not uncommon to find evaluative language used unreasonably in this paper. If all the facts in the article were taken into account, the researchers would need to change the concluding part by making the conclusions more specific.
