Introduction

            Question: What are the Barriers to healthcare for Hispanic people? I’m interested in searching more about the situations and the injustices that the Latino community had to endure in the healthcare system. I also want to find out the information behind this question because personally, I know that the Latino community as well as some of my family members struggle to find the best quality of healthcare in the united states. One of the examples can be such as Lack of access to full coverage of health insurance. . During my research, I  found out that the Hispanic/Latino population faced more barriers and had lower levels of access to care. Most importantly, Immigration status plays a role in a person’s ability, especially as undocumented immigrants are not eligible for government-funded health insurance and often cannot afford the highest amount of money to give to the insurance company. supposedly, health insurance has to help a person to stay healthy, even if the person is in good health, insurance companies have to make sure that people have the access to primary care, emergency treatment, and free services.

In this study, I’m trying to figure out why healthcare is so expensive for Hispanics. What actions can we take to improve the healthcare rules that affect the Hispanic community and what can we do to assist them.
