Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sociologists have found that social inequality, such as disparities in income, education, race/ethnicity, and immigration status, can significantly affect access to health care. Those with lower socioeconomic status and marginalized groups may experience barriers to accessing health care, such as lack of insurance, transportation difficulties, and discrimination by health care providers. Personal characteristics, the timing of illness, and individual aspirations are not as significant in affecting access to health care as social inequality. Social and political views may influence the types of health care services someone seeks, but are unlikely to be the primary factor affecting access.
