During
this session, panelists discussed the impact of the absence
of health equity by highlighting the latest data documenting
disparities in health, health care and health care spending.
Panelists defined health equity, and presented it not only
as a public health and social justice issue, but as an economic
issue as well. Additionally, panelists explored why health
equity is a necessary health care goal that we - as a nation
- should strive to achieve. Following the presentations,
a Q&A session occurred.
