Another study, released this spring, concluded that the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) and Medicaid helped to reduce infant deaths. Dr. Karen P. Carver from Penn State stated, "WIC and Medicaid have helped poor women reduce infant mortality on two levels. First, WIC and Medicaid participants have lower infant death rates associated with pregancy and delivery. "Second, WIC participation by mothers is beneficial for infants at risk of death due primarily to environmental or external causes, including infectious and conta -sr*M~* gious diseases and accidents." The vast majority of women participat ing in the WIC program are African American, young and very poor. While the WIC program has remained intact for the moment, millions of single, poor women and their children lost their Medicaid coverage when they were eliminated from the welfare rolls. The U.S. health care system is a vital institution riddled with racism. The only concern of this profit-driven industry is to rake in billions of dollars.
