"Hypothesis"

1. Opportunity: People of lower class and underprivilege don't get the health insurance they need and the ones they can afford are not quality health care.
2.
- Who: underprivilege people
-What: not receiving the health care they deserve because they can't afford it and the insurance they can afford is not of quality.
-Why: these people can't afford it but they get fined if they don't have insurance which makes them get the most affordable which doesn't provide adequate healthcare.
3.
-why: there is definitely a need for change because most people need to see doctors but cannot afford it.
-What: an organization or awareness of different programs and help offered to assist everyone in getting the healthcare they need while also being able to afford it.
-Why: This is an opportunity to reach out and help the lower class community. Research has shown lower class has a higher rating of obesity, diabetes and other health impairing illnesses. If we can reach out and help these people when can hopefully make a better future.

4. I interviewed 5 people 3 of them being former patients of mine from a clinic I worked out and 2 being my family. All of which agreed there are not enough resources out there providing information to the lower class about insurance and health care benefits. Some even said they didn't even know if they qualified for Medicare/Medicaid because there is not enough information, One lady, a single mom of 3 handsome boys states she put all her money in health insurance for her kids but when it comes to her she pays for the cheapest plan which usually does not cover anything because she simply cannot afford it.

5. This is something I've seen as a problem first hand and think there is need to bring More awareness and help.
