Increasing disparities

As more pubic hospitals close down, the number of uninsured will have to seek medical care in remaining public hospitals, free clinics, Medicare and Medical. Unless the economy picks up and jobs begin to insure the uninsured, overcrowding will cause the services of these programs to deteriorate. In my opinion, there has to come a point when the masses mobilize and demand the government to make the changes that will benefit all. It is sad to see that the closing of hospitals is mostly affecting disadvantaged communities. The health disparities by race, ethnicity, and income only seem to be growing with this failing system. The continued decrease in public hospitals should be a sign for government officials to realize the failure in the current health care system and step in for the interest of the public.
