ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: A
The NHDR explains that, within the scope of health care delivery, disparities are due to differences in access to care, provider biases, poor provider-patient communication, poor health literacy, and other factors. This report did not address that there is inadequate funding to provide appropriate care, that people seek care too late, or that there is a national shortage of providers.
