Lack of funds
Many families and individuals over the word cannot afford food, electricity, a home, or any of the things we find essential. Many families struggle day by day, hour by hour to be able to simply have a meal for their families. Health care is the last thing on their mind. Praying or hoping for the best shot at not becoming ill anytime soon is how life is lived. La villita isn't a place far from this type of life style.(South Lawndale. (n.d.). - Chicago Health Atlas.) Single mothers and fathers only depend on one pay check to be able to pay off one or two bills. How can a doctor check up be on their mind when they thing doctor bills are expensive or "what if im ill" state of mind plays a role. Some people rather just not think about that and focus on work and more work. People have illnesses and might not even know it. People can sometimes even prevent the cancer, sexual illnesses, etc. but and negligent. All races experience this when they simply are poor. Poor has no race or color. Third world countries cannot even find a doctor close from home. We all aren't so different. We share lack of health care. Not being financially stable is one of the biggest factors on why people are not covered.
