Introduction African Americans, Hispanics, and Pacific Islanders Americans are some of the leading minority groups in the United States. According to Barr (27), these minority groups have experienced huge health disparities. The quality of healthcare services that they receive is much lower than what the majority of Whites receive within the country. In terms of health disparity, these three populations have a number of factors in common. The first factor is the number of people who have private health insurance plans besides what is offered by the government. According to Edberg (35), most of the minority groups, especially the African Americans, Hispanics, and Pacific Islanders, do not have private insurance plans that can enable them to visit some of the top private hospitals in the country. The majority of people in these three groups wholly rely on the health insurance plan that is offered by the federal government. It means that when they become sick, they just have to visit public hospitals where their bills will be taken care of by the government’s health insurance policy. Most of them cannot afford the cost of healthcare services offered in some of the best hospitals such as John Hopkins Hospitals. The low quality of service they receive in these public hospitals makes them more likely to succumb to their health complications than those who are able to get the best services from private hospitals. A critical analysis of the patterns of death, especially based on the leading causes of death, shows that African Americans, Hispanics, and Pacific Islanders share a number of factors. In these three populations, heart disease and cancer are the leading causes of death. These are diseases that can be successfully managed if they are diagnosed early enough. Unfortunately, the majority of people from these three populations always detect these life-threatening diseases at advanced stages where very little can be done to spare their lives. Unlike most of the Whites who go for regular medical check-ups as required by their private health insurers, most of these minority groups rarely go for medical tests unless they develop medical conditions that may require medical attention. This means that when they start developing cancer or heart diseases, they may not detect it until such a time that the symptoms start to show. Diseases such as cancer will have their symptoms pronounced in the body at very late stages in life. It is also easy to ignore heart diseases when they are at the early stages of development. That is why the rate of survival against these diseases among these minority groups is lower than the majority Whites. The major cause of death for each population It is clear from the discussion above that African Americans, Hispanics, and Pacific Islanders Americans share a number of factors in terms of health disparities. However, it is important to note that there are specific health facts that make them different. One of them is the leading cause of death among these three populations. According to Gao (76), cancer remains the leading cause of death among Hispanics, accounting for 20.7% of all deaths. Most of the Hispanics succumb to cancer majorly because of late diagnosis. When the disease is diagnosed at the terminal stages very little can be done to save the lives of such patients. In such cases, the patients are put under care to ensure that they are subjected to minimal amounts of pain and psychological suffering
