Issues of languange & power in other fields

I am not planning on becoming a teacher; however I feel that the issues of language and power will still be relevant to me in the health care field. One major issue in health care today is the ever increasing uninsured population in the United States. A large majority of those without insurance coverage are minorities. This means that they are most likely not receiving the proper care. Many minorities are also discouraged from seeking treatment because they can not speak English, and are unable to effectively communicate with the medical staff. So, as I enter into the health care field language and power will certainly be important issues in need of some sort of effective solution.
