AnchorThe United States Government claims our medical health care is the best in the world. The can be no further from the truth. We as a country are less advanced than other nations because citizens of certain races, ethnicities and incomes experience less coverage than others. African Americans and Latinos are among the worse. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was implemented in 2014. It's goal is to expand health insurance coverage. Early evidence shows the uninsured rates are growing in numbers within minority populations.
The ACA is set out to expand insurance coverage, access to doctors and hospitals, as well as prescription medications. Racial and ethical disparities have been well documented in past years.
