Inequitable Health Outcomes Due to Private Health Insurance Uptake
The increasing uptake of private health insurance leads to poorer health outcomes in the population over time. This shift can exacerbate existing health disparities, as those who can afford private health services may receive better care, while others are left with limited access to quality healthcare. This situation creates a bottleneck in achieving equitable health outcomes. The challenge lies in balancing individual access to private health services with the need for equitable public health.
