Paths that fix these help them.

• Pharmacy closures and pharmacy deserts: Pharmacy closures reduce access to medicines, especially without transportation.
• Getting to care: transportation and ambulances: Lack of transportation causes missed appointments.

• Dental, vision, and hearing are mostly uncovered: Coverage gaps and costs lead them to skip dental and other excluded care.
