It's probably no coincidence that the baby in the recent Texas case was black.
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I suspect that in terms of the system, it's more of an economic issue than a racial one. Neither of which is a good thing.

What I don't get is, ok, she had 10 days to find another facility to put the baby. How could other hospitals turn her away? Her baby needed that ventilator - it was a matter of life or death - how could they legally turn her and her son away?
Those other hospitals agreed with the first one that further treatment was pointless. I don't think the race issue is really relevant, although I suspect the economics come into play.

They don't have to provide futile care if the person wanting it can't pay for it.

Well, I think the race issue points more towards the lack of media attention, myself.
