Solution Preview
One historical perspective on the delivery health care in America, is based on the racial and social climate that existed in early America, and in some respects to this very day. During and after slavery African-Americans were viewed as inferior species of humans and thereby not qualified for the rights and privileges that other Americans were granted. Based on these beliefs, the health and well-being of these individuals was not given very much thought or attention, and providing health care to African-Americans was not believed to be important enough to make a priority. In essence, the delivery of health care to these individuals has not been very efficient, and due to the fact that many of these individuals resided in rural inaccessible areas up to the mid-20th century, very seldomly did the latest medicines and or other helpful technological advances in health care reach these individuals.
