Health Insurance Daily Journal

According to a study conducted in the U.S. from year 2000-2006, it was found out that the number of uninsured U.S. residents increased by 3.4 million from 2004 to 2006. In the study, it was found that factors like racial and ethnic health care disparities in the U.S. affect whether they would be insured or not. Because of this, it is important that racial disparities be reduced in health care. A step towards achieving this goal is to teach insurance company employees not to be picky in their customers. Another is buying insurance in advance so that people, despite their race, would be given immediate access to healthcare in an emergency.
