Question

Which of the following is true about racial/minority populations? They are more likely to be insured by their jobs. They are more likely to have a regular doctor. They are more likely to get timely and routine care. They are more likely to be hospitalized for preventable conditions.

Answer 1

Answer:

They are more likely to be hospitalized for preventable conditions.

Explanation:

According to the lastest statistics by the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2018 there were 27.5 million people in the U.S. without health insurance.

When it comes to ethnicities: 5.4% of whites were without insurance, 9.7% of blacks were without insurance, and 17.8% of hispanics were without insurance.

Lack of insurance means that healthcare is more expensive. People without insurance often put off doctor visits. This may cause the development of preventable diseases to the point of requiring hospitalization.

As minorities in the US are, in percentage terms, more often uninsured than White People, it can be easily concluded that minorities are also more likely to be hospitalized for preventable conditions.
