Becerra fielded questions from reporters regarding his plans for HHS moving into the future. Becerra emphasized a variety of changes to the mission of the department, including a step away from "parochial" mindsets on drug addiction, a reduction in the price of prescription drugs, and a continued struggle to suppress the COVID-19 virus.
Throughout his comments, Becerra repeatedly used the term "equity," which denotes the rationing and allocating of resources based on perceived social status, privilege and disenfranchisement.

"Health equity has to be part of everything we do," Becerra announced, later commenting, "You will see health equity pervades everything we do."
Becerra is hardly the first in the medical industry to stress the need for "equity" and "social justice" from health care providers. Organizations representing medical professionals across the nation have come out in support of rationing care based on perceived social status and disenfranchisement.

The 55-page document issued on Oct. 28 cites a guide by the organization Race Forward for how to advocate for critical race theory (CRT), which is called "Guide to Counter-Narrating the Attacks on Critical Race Theory."
The health equity guide claims physicians cannot eliminate "health inequities" by "focus[ing] only on individuals, their behavior or their biology." It says they instead must focus on the language and collective political circumstances of certain groups.

Instead of using the word "fairness," the guide suggests doctors say "social justice." This is because, it says, fairness "pays no attention to how power relations in society establish themselves but primarily emphasizes outcomes within a pre-given set of rules."

In an interview with The Associated Press, the former California attorney general announced that America has reached a "pivotal point" in the third year of the pandemic.
