Six Common Barriers to Accessing Health Care… and How to Help Patients Overcome Them

Even in this modern day-and-age where health care is more advanced and available than ever before, many patients in the United States, unfortunately, face barriers to accessing the health care they need. Here are six common barriers and how they can be overcome. Despite the Affordable Care Act, tens of millions of Americans remain uninsured for health care. The most common reason is not being able to afford even basic insurance. In 2017 alone, one in five uninsured adults in the US went without medical care due to the cost. Sadly, that included medical care for serious health conditions and chronic diseases. In addition to telehealth services, remote patient monitoring tools can be used to help patients who are elderly or have a disability. For instance, with technologies that can check things like blood pressure and heart rate, patients will not need to see doctors in person as often.
