Rationale: Individuals living in poverty often face barriers to accessing regular health care, such as lack of insurance or transportation. Emergency Departments or urgent care centers provide immediate care without requiring prior appointments or insurance, making them more accessible.
Option A, primary care physicians, typically require regular visits and ongoing relationships, which may be difficult for those in poverty.
Option B, neighborhood clinics, while beneficial, often have limited resources and may not be as accessible as emergency services.
Option C, specialists, usually require referrals and may be financially inaccessible, further limiting options for those in poverty.
