Healthcare access and use

Those from certain racial and ethnic minority groups are faced with several barriers to accessing proper health care. This includes lack of insurance, transportation, child care, or the ability to take leave from work for medical reasons. Language and cultural barriers also play a role between patients and providers, affecting patient-provider interactions and health care equality at large. Many from racial and ethnic minority groups put little trust in healthcare systems and government infrastructure which supports these systems.
