Answer 1

The statement by the doctor implies that differential treatment of minorities is, to a degree, based on widely held perceptions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement by the doctor implies that differential treatment of minorities is, to a degree, based on widely held perceptions. The assumption that minorities, particularly black individuals, do not have insurance to pay for medical procedures perpetuates the unequal healthcare treatment they receive. This perception may lead to biases and disparities in access to and quality of healthcare for minority populations.
