Résumé

Civil Rights legislation and court decisions influenced health care policy, which attempted to provide health care to elderly and low-income populations. Passing Medicaid and Medicare was monumental in increasing access to health insurance. The Affordable Care Act aimed to increase access to and affordability of health care to alleviate some disparities in health care. The Affordable Care Act established the National Institute of Minority and Health Disparity and Offices of Minority Health. However, disparities of access, care, morbidity, and mortality among marginalized populations persist. We in the thoracic community must leverage all means to mitigate the injustice of health disparities.
