An Integrative Framework for Evaluating Healthcare Insurance in Public Health Equity and Social Justice

Abstract

Because healthcare insurance determines access to necessary medical services, it has a considerable impact on social justice and public health equality. An integrative paradigm for assessing health insurance as a crucial factor influencing public health outcomes is presented in this research. Drawing from multidisciplinary perspectives, the study examines the relationship between insurance coverage and health disparities, highlighting systemic inequities and proposing strategies to address them. Utilizing theoretical models and global case studies, the research identifies the structural barriers to equitable healthcare access and underscores the role of policy interventions in advancing social justice. The findings emphasize the need for transformative policies that align healthcare insurance systems with equity and ethical principles. This paper contributes to the discourse on healthcare reform by offering actionable insights for policymakers and public health stakeholders.
