Why Are Cultural Insurance Barriers More Severe for Elderly Immigrants? | Hispanic Home Shield News

Why Are Cultural Insurance Barriers More Severe for Elderly Immigrants? In this informative video, we will discuss the various challenges that elderly immigrants, particularly Latinos in America, encounter when trying to access health insurance. We will examine the barriers related to language and communication, which often hinder understanding of insurance options and enrollment processes. Additionally, we will touch on the role of health literacy and the complexities of programs like Medicare and Medicaid, which can be overwhelming for many older immigrants. Cultural beliefs about health and illness will also be explored, as they can influence the use of preventive care services. Economic factors play a significant role as well, with many elderly immigrants facing financial constraints that make insurance premiums and out-of-pocket costs a burden. The intricate nature of the U.S. healthcare system can further discourage enrollment and maintenance of insurance coverage. Lastly, we will discuss the impact of social isolation on elderly immigrants and how a lack of support networks makes navigating insurance options even more difficult.
