In my opinion, the biggest barrier that society must overcome is the availability of quality care for all individuals of society, especially those who are in minority groups. A few health disparities for our society include cardiovascular disease, substance use, low socioeconomic status, and being uninsured. These disparities can be significantly reduced if appropriate care is available for all individuals. Lack of funding and resources, especially in regards to these minorities groups, prevent many individuals from ever getting treatment. If every member of society had availability to quality to healthcare, individuals would be able to receive comprehensive care that can prevent the need for further intensive services for their health conditions.
