Access to health care may be more limited for low socioeconomic groups
Barriers to access are policies and financial, geographical, or cultural features of health care that make services difficult to obtain or so unappealing that people do not wish to seek health care. An example of the removal of a barrier to health care is: 1. Subconscious discrimination by providers that are unwilling to treat certain groups
2. Allowing pets to be treated at the same facility
3. Providing free food at a food bank
4. Providing a mobile van staffed by nurse practitioners to provide services for a rural population

Removing barriers helps improve access to care.
