Abstract	This article examines the chronic health conditions of African Americans who experience disparities because of poverty, low literacy, and cultural practices that affect decisions about food, nutrition, and health care. It will examine governmental policies, for example, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) (Artiga et al., 2020), and how these policies contribute to health and wellbeing of people from low-income communities. Furthermore, it explores the overrepresented deaths among African Americans and other communities of color resulting from the pandemic--deaths that result from co-existing health conditions and the inability to afford immediate care.
