Coronavirus is exacerbating the challenges people with chronic and other health conditions already face in accessing health care, healthy food, safe housing and transportation, said psychologist Ben Miller, chief strategy officer at the nonprofit Well Being Trust.
“The more diagnoses you have or the more severe your illness, the more coordination you yourself have to manage as the health care system has not yet proven it’s capable of helping,” Miller said. “One of the cruelest ironies in health care is that we make people who need help the most have to work the hardest to get help.”
