It’s about health and wealth and needs to be between 900-1000 words Please include my introduction
Introduction:
Generation after generation, income differences and unfair access to healthcare affect individuals. Your financial status can affect the quality of healthcare you get. People growing up in low-income communities often lack resources, which means fewer chances for preventative care and regular check-ups. This gap makes health problems worse and keeps a cycle of poor health and financial troubles going. Watching my niece, who was born prematurely, struggle with healthcare issues shows this problem. Her mother is fighting for healthcare coverage, not because affordable healthcare isn’t there, but because she doesn’t know how to get it. Equal healthcare for everyone will help ensure that all people can receive care and live healthy lives, no matter their financial status.
