I'm actually willing to grant that better care may be rendered (or accepted) if the patient and doctor are of similar background. This seems like one of the stronger progressive arguments out there. Of course all the remedies proposed rely on Blank Slatism and Whig History so they're automatically junk, but the premise seems right.

Requiring those who support affirmative action to only receive treatment from physicians who got their medical degrees because of it would be just deserts.
