Abstract | Angela Salamanca is a Colombian woman who has spent over twenty years in the United States. She lives with her two daughters in the Raleigh, NC area. In the course of the interview she discusses topics regarding medicine in Colombia and the United States such as being without insurance and the problems that she faces with the healthcare system. She describes how the healthcare system is much more egalitarian in the United States than in Colombia. The classism affects whether someone has access to quality care, if any care at all. She describes her experience as “lucky”, as she found healthcare insurance through her former employer when she became pregnant. Angela has not had to experience the sometimes inconsistent prenatal care that many immigrant women have to face. However, she expressed disdain toward the United States healthcare system for being inefficient and expensive. |
