That makes a lot of sense. Indeed, reduction in competition favours ideological capture, since people are now insulated from the consequences.
However, even if this may explain waste under the form of useless DEI departments or programs, it still does not protect hospitals against malpractice from an AA admit to a reputable medical school…
That makes a lot of sense. Indeed, reduction in competition favours ideological capture, since people are now insulated from the consequences.
However, even if this may explain waste under the form of useless DEI departments or programs, it still does not protect hospitals against malpractice from an AA admit to a reputable medical school. And this is where you can have massive scandals because consequences are both big and visible.
However, this will likely create more health inequalities: wealthy people, including liberal ones, will still be careful of receiving high quality care from competent doctors. But we can imagine hospitals deserving poor minorities areas being completely DEI controlled, because that's so aligned with the ideology of the local demographics (in the same way school districts in urban areas are often badly run).
To conclude, I do agree there will still be some DEI tax to pay anyway, but I am skeptical of a large-scale change. The only way I see this happen is if we have a large population change where, for instance, the share of African-American strongly increases. But this is not what we see in the US.
For my firstborn we went to a very posh UMC hospital. The OBGYN was a medical group that had one black doctor within it, which was assigned as our primary though they shared a lot of the burden.
My wife turned out to have a rare medical condition which would have caused a 50% chance of stillbirth in the third trimester and who knows what other health problems. She brought her conditions up with the black doctor but was ignored. She eventually went on the internet (because the pain was excruciating) and self diagnosed. Then brought it up to a white RN who spotted the problem and it was treated. I likely have a firstborn because of this.
I'm not sure if there had been a stillbirth there would have been any consequences. Each medical group has about the same number of incompetent black doctors, so I'm sure if you compared "best practices" the various institutions would have missed it in a statistically equal way.
America isn't getting more black but its getting more brown.

I will give you an example from my own life.

Arghh that's indeed very concerning :((
Happy your wife and kid could be properly cared for eventually.
Well, eventually, this is all speculative, and we will probably discover in a few decades. Let's hope for the best.
