True

Explanation:

Keith Wailoo is a medical historian who has been conducting research on the medical issues and the healthcare system of the US argued that "the health crisis after Hurricane Katrina did not begin with the hurricane, but has deeper social roots in the high rates of kidney failure and other health problems among New Orleans poor and minority populations" in 2010. According to the historian, the US healthcare system has not been able to eradicate social class differences and other forms of discrimination when providing care to the people. Therefore, the poor and the minorities tend to suffer and when such a catastrophe occurs, these issues become even more apparent.
