Research has shown that a diverse medical workforce helps improve patient trust, communication, cultural understanding, and health outcomes.
According to Black Health Data, Black physicians make up just 5.7% of active physicians in the United States, despite Black Americans comprising 13.6% of the population. African American men remain significantly underrepresented among physicians in the U.S. population.

After upgrading my kitchen with new Whirlpool appliances (refrigerator, electric range, over-the-range microwave oven, and dishwasher), I called Whirlpool to register them. In this blog, I share some shocking findings after purchasing Appliance Care Protection Plans and describe documents I received.
Many consumers mistakenly believe that registering an appliance is required to activate the manufacturer's warranty. According to Whirlpool, that is generally not the case. Warranty coverage begins with proof of purchase.
Registering your appliances can be beneficial because it helps Whirlpool:
For brand-new appliances already covered by Whirlpool's warranty, I found that protection plans offer two significant benefits...
The plan covers accidental damage that is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Examples might include:
According to plan documents, there are no separate charges for covered service calls, labor, or replacement parts.
If an appliance cannot be repaired economically, the service plan may replace the appliance when repair costs exceed its value. This is probably the most attractive feature of the plan.
Expect introductory/ promotional pricing after registering your Whirlpool appliances. They offered me...
For four appliances, the introductory cost was less than $13 per month.
The low introductory price makes the offer very tempting, especially when purchasing multiple appliances at once.
Like many consumers, the promotional pricing hooked me and I purchased plans based on what the customer service representative told me. When I ask for documents to review before giving my credit card number. I was told that all documents will be emailed with a secure link to setup my account and that everything can be fully reviewed in the contract when payment is received.
I became suspecious but went ahead and purchased the plans. He assured me that I could cancel anytime if I didn't like the plans and would be given a full refund after reviewing the plan for 30 days - during the "Free Look Period."
After reading documents in the plan, I discovered several important limitations...
During the Whirlpool factory warranty period, warranty-covered mechanical and electrical failures are generally handled through Whirlpool's warranty process.
The plan is not a substitute for the manufacturer's warranty.
These exclusions were not mentioned during the sales presentation and were discovered after reviewing the written contract.
Each appliance has its own individual protection plan and documentation.
I strongly recommend that consumers review every document in the portal before deciding whether to keep the plan.
The actual contract contains approximately five pages explaining coverage, benefits, limitations, and exclusions, plus several additional pages containing state-specific provisions.
After reviewing the contract, I decided the plan was not a good fit for my situation.
My reasons included:
I felt there were too many exclusions, and that the plan did not provide the level of protection I originally believed I was purchasing.
In my opinion, if new appliances require extensive protection after purchase, it raises questions about long-term reliability.
I later learned there were additional promotional pricing options tied to automatic checking account withdrawals that were not disclosed to me during the sales presentation - such as....
My contract contained an incorrect address.
Customer service attempted to correct the information on two separate occasions, but the incorrect information continued to reappear in the system.
For me, this created concerns about future service claims and documentation accuracy.
As a handyman, I feel comfortable maintaining and repairing many appliance issues once the manufacturer's warranty expires.
I also spend time reading manuals and watching repair and maintenance videos to avoid accidental damage.
There are two questions that may help you decide on the value of these plans: 1) Do I occassional damage things due to accidents or not reading instructions? 2) Do I rely on professional service technicians to diagnose and repair my appliances?
The good news is that cancellation was easy.
I canceled during the review period before the 30-day cancellation window expired.
Customer service processed the cancellation without any pressure or difficulty.
I was told that a full refund would be issued and that it could take approximately 7 to 14 business days for the refund to appear. It only took 2 days.
The representative also encouraged me to return in the future if I wanted protection after the manufacturer's warranty expires.
Do not leave appliances boxed for days or weeks.
If damage is discovered, reporting it quickly can help avoid disputes between the retailer, manufacturer, and delivery company. Most retail appliance stores will provide a replacement up to 48 hours of purchase.
For me personally, the factory warranty provides sufficient protection during the first year, so I chose to cancel my plans.
Plans may be particularly attractive for homeowners who:
As always, every consumer should carefully evaluate the costs, benefits, exclusions, and their own repair abilities before deciding whether an appliance protection plan is worth the expense.
