Question 1 • [HSHEAC] Health Sem 2 (26-27)
Barriers to obtaining health care include problems getting to a provider, finding an available appointment or specialist, and paying for care. Without public transportation, a person may not be able to reach a clinic; work-hour conflicts and a shortage of specialized services can limit access; and lack of money can prevent someone from receiving care. Exposure to toxins and chemicals can harm health, but it is not itself a barrier to obtaining health care.
