Although the monetary gap between those with money and those without remains significant around the world, at least those without are finding it easier to find food and health care due to not having enough money.

In a recent study by the Kaiser Foundation and the Pew Global Attitudes Project, 35 poor countries were studied to determine trends in food and health care availability.

In 23 of the 35 countries, fewer respondents reported they had not missed health care because of money, with the study reporting that improved national conditions were the reason for increased health care visibility for these poorer patients. The report concluded that "global health is a local phenomenon."
