I would think that rising health care costs would hurt EVERYONE not just minorities. Heck, nobody wants to pay more for health care.
Another point this article fails to mention is that people living below the poverty level get free health care. These increases hurt the middle class the most.
It is too bad the media distorts news articles like this. Exploiting minorities is always good for selling a few extra papers because our people will eat this stuff up.
