Hospitalization has a solid connection to one’s socioeconomic status. Typically lower-class individuals are hospitalized more since preventative treatments are less available. This also translates to healthcare. Many non-salary jobs do not provide benefits such as healthcare which means one is on their own. Not having healthcare severely limits medical treatments. The attached collum graph shows the “number of potentially preventable hospitalizations” (CDC). The dark blue indicates the expected hosl[pitalizations which are equal amongst all classes. However, the excess hospitalizations (light blue) increase amongst the lower classes. This would suggest that the lack of healthcare and preventative treatments results in excess hospitalizations.
