Common meaning:
Everyone should receive the same level of medical care.
Hidden meaning of the Equity religion:
Healthcare should be increased for marginalized groups and reduced for dominant ones.
Discussion:
The Equityists believe that if there are any differences in medical outcomes for people in marginalized groups compared to people in dominant ones, it must be the result of oppression. To fix this, we need to decrease healthcare for members of dominant groups and increase it for members of marginalized ones.
This is just one more example that shows when believers of Equity use the word “equity” it does not mean equal or fair, but instead, they mean redistribution. An equitable outcome from the Equity perspective, is one that prioritizes healthcare for members of marginalized groups.
Like always, there is a note of revenge in the word equity. The people in dominant groups got better healthcare in the past, so it is time for them to get less now. Resources need to be taken away from the dominant group and redistributed to the minoritized.
This is no way to run healthcare.
