Healthcare inequality mainly revolves around the disparity in the quality of health and health services among different population groups in the society. It touches on the accessibility of health insurance and thus the accessibility of quality healthcare services among the different population groups. There disparities in the access to quality healthcare among the different races and ethnicities, social classes and between the two genders. These disparities are mainly influenced by and are reflective of the differences in access to health insurance among these population groups. These disparities ultimately lead to similar disparities in healthcare services access, health outcomes and the presence of disease among these different population groups. There are several factors that influence access to health insurance and quality health services, referred to as determinants of health among the populations. There are cultural, environmental social and economic determinants to health which create an unfair playing ground for the different population groups in American society. This paper examines the social determinants to health, the extent to which they affect access to health insurance and quality healthcare and ways in which they can be reversed to enable equal access to health insurance and health care services among these populations. The issue of disparities in access to health insurance and by extension access to quality healthcare services is important because it affects

For many decades the access to health care system in America has been an integral social issue. Of all the western countries US is the only country without a universal healthcare access. The health care system charges a fee to provide access to health and the majority of the population is unable to pay such high fees which keep them out of the health care system. The healthcare system is based on the principles of social inequalities which are based on the socioeconomic status, race and gender. The research paper has discussed the issues and analyzed them by shedding light on the alternatives to improve the healthcare system in the US.

Namely, many Latin American women seeking employment often find work in the informal economy. In the informal economy, they have the options of choosing work such as domestic labor, street vending, or an employee in the maquiladoras. These types of jobs are not always valuable as the working conditions are unsafe and the pay rate is inconsistent. If given the chance, however, Latin American women may have the chance to join the formal economy by finding employment in commerce, education, health or entrepreneurship. Within the formal economy, these women can have job security, protection from workplace abuse, and a steady income. Given these facts, the workforce is strongly male dominated and will continue to do so. Unless politicians in Latin American effectively handle discrimination of women in their economical debates, how will they succeed like their male

The United States of America is the only major country that does not offer healthcare coverage as a right of citizenship. Most established (advanced) countries have a universal healthcare program, which means accessibility to every citizen. It is a system usually operates by the federal government, it has social rules and regulations and is financed through different new taxations. This issue had been discussed for years- during the Depression and World War II the United States had no funds to implement the universal healthcare. As an outcome, a privet division was established that did not provide healthcare to all the citizens. However, the government’s role of providing healthcare insurance developed as a regulatory form to ensure that the elderly and poor were able to receive healthcare.

The United States is world renowned for having the best health care if not the most accessible. Citizens have at their disposal a plethora of hospitals, physicians, and therapists to improve their well-being. Statistical data was taken back in 2010 under the Central Texas Region and studied health care coverage and income in regards to the community. The data displayed in the surveys heavily suggest that income/ health in general have a high correlation. The issue that arose with the given data imply that those who are on the lower end of the income spectrum subsequently have no health care coverage and poorer health than those with higher income. In any case with high correlation there are a number of factors influencing the statistical evidence, and in this case sociological barriers are present in regards of inequality and health care.
