Document Summary

Running head: not so universal health care 1. A typical physical examination at your family doctor may seem insignificant to your long-term health care, but not every individual has this prosperity in regards to access to public health care. A common under serviced group of individuals are homeless people. As stated in the encyclopedia homelessness is a condition of detachment from society characterized by the absence or attenuation of the affiliate bonds that link settled persons to a network of interconnected social structures. Homeless people have many faces: male, female, adult, child, and elderly. It has been very prominent that there is a fine line between homeless people and their so-called universal health care. Homelessness is a social problem that has been on the rise since the early 1980s (gelberg et al. , 2002). Homelessness is one of the many problems that prevail here in canada; it will continue to rise unless we can find a solution to fix it.
