The fact that Dr. Franklin in this video states that race and class can have negative and positive effects on health is an opening statement which I find refreshing considering many would think that there could only be negative health affects associated with poverty. In truth, there are many more negative effects of poverty on health, but it is ethical to acknowledge both sides of the coin per say. In Portland where this interview is being conducted, he specifically states that poverty can affect the opportunities and resources available to help people improve their health. Resources meaning that those with more money among other things can afford a better quality of care wherein ethics states that everyone should have equal access to care and equal access to quality of care. The ethical implications of poverty on healthcare include disparities in outcomes to healthcare and it can severely affect access to medically necessary care. Dr. Franklin also recognizes that depending on the location of those in Portland that are also in poverty, they might have increased access to care, but not be able to afford the care that might be right in front of them. This can be seen as an injustice to people that clearly deserve the same care as others. Some of the public health department activities he details are very race specific which is great at targeting those who genuinely need the care and takes into account cultural differences which is a key positive need in ethical healthcare. Chronic and infectious disease he states could be caught much earlier in those in poverty, which is a saddening, yet eye opening statement that those in poverty could have dramatically increased lifespans if their care was handled much sooner. Ethically we have the responsibility to treat all people and to encourage everyone no matter their status to seek care and get continues resources in order to be able to access and afford care. What doctors and professionals alike need to remember in my opinion is that the approach to care for those in poverty needs to be multifaceted. People shoud feel like they have multiple people who care for them and that can help them when one avenue may not be available of accessible at times. Addressing the root causes of poverty is the only way to sustainably and ethically change the fact that poverty can create various ethical issues related to healthcare for these populations.
Poverty makes you die faster because of the endless stress and trying to make ends meet. Lack of positivity, resources, and safety can definitely cause anyone to drop dead at any given moment. My family lived in poverty for decades and none of them made it to 50. I'm the last one alive in my family and I am still in poverty and endless struggle. Guess my life will be short too. Stress, no money, no stable income, will definitely put you under very quickly.
