Washington DC, 25 November (2021) - Racial inequities remain pervasive in the U.S. health system, a new study has found.
"Black, Latinx/Hispanic, and American Indian/Alaska Native populations are less likely to have health insurance, more likely to face cost-related barriers to getting care, and more likely to incur medical debt," said the Commonwealth Fund in a new report.
"It is also less common for individuals from these groups to have a usual source of care or to regularly receive preventive services like vaccinations," it added.
