I.

Introduction
A. Current problem: Systematic inequalities that limit access to quality health care to low-
income, minority adults.
B. Population of focus: Low-income minority adults
C. Key terms: Low-income, healthcare

Thesis statement: Due to economic barriers and systemic racism (Gaskin et al., 2012),
minorities of lower income tend to have less access to quality healthcare across the United
States.
II. Background
Low-income minorities in the United States face challenges with obtaining and receiving
quality health care due to systemic inequalities. The historical and structural factors consist
of economic inequality and systemic racism, resulting in limited access to health care and
health insurance. Gaps in healthcare access create a dire need for interventions to address
and eliminate the inequities.

VII. Conclusion
Access to quality healthcare in the United States is dependent on economics. The
disparities among low-income minorities stem from economic barriers, resulting in systemic
inequalities and creating a cycle of poor generational health outcomes. Addressing the issues of
systemic racism can eliminate the inequalities experienced in the United States and ensure access
to quality care for everyone, regardless of race, religion, or economic background.
