Secondarily, obtaining these answers will be assumed to also obtain practical strategies that family physicians can use to effect better and more equitable access to healthcare for those in their care, especially for populations that have traditionally been marginalized, or even ignored, by insurance companies. Another aim is to determine whether there is a close connection between family physicians and insurance companies. Perhaps these can be used as a basis for creating a platform fore more equitable access. Finally, the aim is to obtain personal accounts from healthcare users themselves to determine the extent of experienced inequality within the healthcare setting, as well as the perceived power, or lack thereof, of family physicians to create a remedy for this, which some authors appear to believe to exist (4).
As for the design of the research, a general to specific approach will be taken. Europe, the UK (5), and developing areas such as Africa and other minority-rich environments will be investigated to determine the equality of access and the role of family physicians in this. Much of these investigations will be theoretical, by means of publications and reports.
