Health Affair Article Review

The article I have chosen is “The Influence Of Income On Health: Views Of An Epidemiologist” the main points of this article is that income plays a huge role when it comes to health care. There are three ways in which it is important for example, not having enough money, maldistribution of money, and spending it on the wrong things. Having low income can result in people not having enough money for healthcare and this can be the reason why they have poor average health. I chose this article because income does play a huge role when it comes to health care, and I thought it was interesting how people that are low income get poor health services. We also talked about social class and income stood out to me as I mentioned, it it plays a huge role in health and I often believe people forget how expensive it can be for others that have a lower income and who also have families. This article also compares Canada and the United States to see how much is being spent towards healthcare. I found this article through health affairs and it does have facts, it also has graphs. This article was organized logically and very well put together, the format did remind me of some of the articles that we read.
