When health insurances isn't enough

People who have limited access to quality housing, education, social protection, and job opportunities have a high risk of illness and death. Religious beliefs can influence healthcare decision-making, as some religions prohibit certain treatments. I am very passionate about the social cause in healthcare, not because I work in healthcare, but because I have had many family members die of different things, and cancer that was caught late, or they didn’t have money for treatments because health insurance wasn’t enough. Some of the biggest issues in healthcare today are shortage in healthcare and need for improvement in mental health. I think everyone should have access to healthcare, especially if its life and death. Everyone needs to have access to healthcare, and more research about healthcare should be conducted.

Examples of social cause:

Healthcare Disparities by Race and Ethnicity: Racial and ethnic minorities often experience lower quality of healthcare, facing higher rates of morbidity and mortality compared to non-minority groups.

Social Determinants of Health: Factors such as socioeconomic status, education, and access to resources significantly influence health outcomes. For instance, poverty can lead to barriers in accessing healthcare facilities.

Healthcare Access for Marginalized Groups: Addressing systemic discrimination and ensuring equitable access to healthcare is crucial for improving health outcomes for marginalized populations.

Impact of Neighborhood Conditions: The quality of life in neighborhoods can affect health outcomes, with factors like access to clean water and safe living conditions playing a role.
