Health care is a big part of American lives. Almost one in every five dollars goes to the health care system, but there is overwhelming evidence that not everyone is treated the same.

Late last year, Dr. Ben Danielson resigned in protest from the Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic at Seattle Children’s Hospital — citing racism.

KING 5's Facing Race team sat down with Danielson to better understand what racism looks like in American health care, and at Seattle Children’s in particular, where he says top leaders should be replaced.

When you ask Danielson if there is racism in health care, he doesn't hesitate. "It's undeniable, irrefutable. The data is there, it's proven and shown. And it's surprising to me that we still have to ask that question," said Danielson.
