Lesbian, gay and bisexual persons are much more likely to find it complicated to get proper healthcare compared to their straight peers, a latest study has disclosed.
Researchers from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discovered that when compared to the wider ‘straight’ population, LGB people confront significant barriers to healthcare. These involve a deficiency of insurance coverage and culturally competent contributors
Data was analyzed from the National Health Interview Survey 2013, where it was discovered that LGB persons were more likely to delay or stop treatment due to costs.
Gay and bisexual men were more likely to report trouble finding a contributor than straight men and bisexual persons more generally, claimed to delay care of reasons other than cost.
Surprisingly for few of the researchers, more bisexual women claimed to have confronted 3 of the 5 barriers inquired about in the survey, compared to those who identified as lesbian.
