Inequality Within Healthcare – Conclusion

Our group learned about someone’s real Healthcare experience in New York City that demonstrated the extent of deficiencies in the healthcare system. The social, economic, and environmental factors such as education, poverty and housing are part of health outcomes and also create health inequities. Addressing and putting an end to health inequities in NYC will only be possible if society and decision makers broaden their view of health to fully grasp how steep and unjust disparities in social and other conditions limit, thwart, and even destroy some people’s ability to live healthy and full lives. These public displays of personal healthcare experiences need to occur more frequently and in a way that furthers the conversation on what needs to be fixed within the healthcare system. Healthcare is slowly growing as a term that is referred to as another human right and after what we learned and experienced its something we hope to see change for the better, especially when it comes to providing aid to those in need.
