The Affordable Care Act was to help the unstable health system the United States has. The article mentions how "terms are used interchangeably and often used in error".  Diversity in the health care refers to the provider work force and how providers reflects the diversity of patients served by gender, racial, ethnic, religious education.  A disparity describes the gab identified in health outcomes of minorities when they are compared with non minority.  Health literacy refers to the patient's  ability to obtain, process and understand health information. Cultural competency is delivering care in a manner that is respectful and sensitive to each patients.  The ACA  was  set to help every American understand and be able to communicate with their  providers eliminating the language barrier, because even native Americans understand to read, write at a eight grade level.  The purpose is to improve the quality of care.
