2 Evidence Base in Design The COVID-19 Health Care Disparity Measures Act of 2021 was created as a response to the growing disparities in access to healthcare that were present between various racial and ethnic populations at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. Many of the health disparities in the United States have been made public by the COVID-19 outbreak. Different racial and ethnic groups and various socioeconomic levels exhibit such differences (Lopez et al., 2021). The law also creates a task force to look into COVID-19-related healthcare disparities and offer recommendations for addressing them. One of the socioeconomic factors that affect this policy the most is income. Due to their frequent lack of access to high-quality healthcare, low-income individuals and families are among the main contributors to healthcare inequality. Because people in lower-income households are more likely to contract the virus and experience more severe symptoms, this disparity has been made worse by the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 Health Gap Action Act 2021 seeks to close this gap by providing funding for research, data collection, and initiatives to enhance access to health services for underserved communities. Another social factor that influences the effectiveness of this strategy is race. Racism causes minority groups to frequently be disregarded by the healthcare system, which significantly increases health inequality (Kim et al., 2020). Because of the greater danger of infection and propensity for severe symptoms among members of minority groups, the COVID- 19 pandemic has made this gap even wider. The COVID-19 Health Gap Action Act 2021 seeks to close this gap by providing funding for research, data collection, and initiatives to enhance access to health services for underserved communities.
3 There is a ton of research to back up suggestions for policy change. There are differences in health care between various racial and ethnic groups and various socioeconomic classes, as shown by numerous studies (Milstead & Short, 2019). For instance, a study by the Kaiser Family Foundation revealed that people of color are more likely to contract the virus and that their symptoms are more severe when they do. Additionally, research has shown that people and families with limited financial resources frequently have less access to high-quality medical care (Kim et al., 2020). Minority members are more likely to contract the virus and experience more severe symptoms, according to the findings of another CDC study. A significant number of health organizations also support the proposed regulations. Several professional associations, including the AMA, the ANA, and the National Association of Community Health Centers, have approved the COVID-19 Health Care Disparity Act of 2021 (Lopez et al., 2021). These organizations agree that health care disparities in the US need to be addressed, and they see the proposed policies as a good place to start.
