Short Abstract: The purpose of the NHDR, as mandated by Congress, I is to identify the differences or gaps where some populations receive poor or worse care than others and to track how these gaps are changing over time. Although the emphasis is on disparities related to race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status, this directive also includes a charge to examine disparities in “priority populations.” These include groups with unique health care needs or issues that require special attention. Among the priority populations addressed in the NHDR are women, children, older adults, residents of rural areas, and individuals with disabilities or special health care needs.

Short Abstract: One in three residents of the United States self-identify as either African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino, or multiracial. By 2050, this number is expected to increase to one in two. Despite significant advances in civil rights, race remains a significant factor in determining whether an individual receives care, whether an individual receives high quality care, and in determining health outcomes.

Short Abstract: Our healthcare system is in critical condition. We can’t get our economy back on track if we don’t solve our health care crisis. The longer we wait and do nothing, the worse it will get. We must act quickly to fix a system that costs too much and covers too few. But for some Americans, particularly racial and ethnic minorities, the crisis is much deeper than that.
