HEALTH CARE

This part presents the healthcare access of the people. Another problem

plaguing the individual is the access to the healthcare. There is lack of health insurance

which relates to income. Low income has been associated with relatively higher rates of

health problems. The use of healthcare services is also affected by unemployment and

poverty. Even though some government assistance is available, eligibility for

government insurance program and benefits varies considerably from state to state and

is continually being reevaluated.
