Step 1: Pick a topic related to the U.S. healthcare system and its intersection

Step 1:
Pick a topic related to the U.S. healthcare system and its intersection with SSDOH. Search for a U.S. news article about the topic in the last five years (2019-2023). The article can be local, regional, or national.
Copy and paste the link of the news article and post it as part of your original post (1 point).
Next, in a paragraph, describe/summarize the news article you found. Be sure to explicitly state how/where SSDOH intersects with the U.S. healthcare system (3 points)
Here’s an example: I am interested in learning more about health provider-patient relationships in the U.S. and the influence of discrimination. I searched the internet for U.S. news stories and found the following piece published in March 2023 by PBS News Hour: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/black-patients-adjust-behavior-to-reduce-chance-of-discrimination-in-health-care-settings-survey-findsLinks to an external site.. In this news article, the authors use survey data and participant interviews to describe how Black patients in the U.S. modify their behaviors prior to and during interactions with the U.S. healthcare system. Racism, referred to as “discrimination and bias” in this article, shaped patients’ previous experiences in hospitals and other healthcare settings where patients’ pain and symptoms were ignored or inappropriately minimized. In response to these racialized experiences, patients now report using strategies to reduce discrimination at future appointments and interactions with healthcare providers. Some strategies mentioned include adjusting what one wears and how one speaks. Clearly, and unfortunately, racism is a strong SSDOH in shaping the quality of care for people of color in the U.S. healthcare system.
Your post must be organized, written in a well-structured paragraph, and free from grammatical errors.
