Predisposing and enabling factors
Whether one lives in an urban city, a gated suburban community, or a small town in rural America, the presence and realities of vulnerable populations are prevalent and access to health care is limited. The lives of people in these populations are interwoven into communities and neighborhoods. They are homeless veterans that you see sleeping on park benches, a single mother of three who just lost her job and insurance benefits, or a young man diagnosed with HIV who is in college, the neighbor’s daughter who dropped out of high school and has been abusing drugs to self-medicate her untreated bipolar depression, or a retired police officer who is living on a fixed income who had both lower – legs amputated due to complication of diabetes.

Poverty
Poverty is a pervasive human condition of being unable to obtain or provide a standard level of food, water and/or shelter. It exists in every country in varying degrees. In 2016, 40.6 million people lived in poverty in the U.S. That means the poverty rate for 2016 was 12.7%. For 50 years, lawmakers have attempted to equalize services for all.
