Discuss the delivery of health care to homeless families.

The following is an extensive discussion on points that ought to be addressed in your paper.

The US Department of Health and Human Services defines the term 'vulnerable population' as "a population likely to be vulnerable to coercion or undue influence [1]." As one can imagine, a group marginalized for any reason may be considered vulnerable under certain circumstances. However, clinical ethics in the United States focuses on underrepresented populations disadvantaged by race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, disability, and level of education. The homeless are among the most medically disenfranchised populations in America. As is the case of any vulnerable population, the homeless have health needs that are particular to their disposition. What makes the healthcare delivery for the homeless exceptionally difficult is the fact that many of the health issues that plague the homeless are a direct result of their circumstances. There are several multifaceted issues that arise from the aforementioned; they are described below.
