The following is an abstract from the paper "Discrimination in Health Care: A Field Experiment on the Impact of Patients' Socioeconomic Status on Access to Care," by Silvia Angerer, Christian Waibel, and Harald Stummer. We employ a large-scale field experiment to investigate the impact of patients' socioeconomic status on access to care. We request an appointment at more than 1,200 physicians in Austria, varying the educational level of the patient.

In order to change the root causes of health disparity in the US, both popular and political will are needed.
