Equity Matters
How much money a person makes and the benefits they get from their job, like health insurance, often depend on whether they work part-time, full-time, are their own boss, or work for the government or a private company. The amount of money someone earns and their health insurance can impact how easy it is to get medical care. [] Therefore, people who earn more and have health insurance from their job might be healthier.
