Abstract: The economic burden of health inequities ranged from $421 billion to $978 billion in 2018, suggesting more resources are needed to improve health equity for racial and ethnic minorities and people with low education levels. The JAMA study assesses the economic burden of health inequities for five racial and ethnic minority groups: American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and three education groups: adults with less than a high school education, those with a high school degree or general educational development (GED) credit, and those with some college or an associate degree. These populations often face barriers to healthcare, employment, education, and transportation, leading to poor health outcomes.
