Even though health equity is a key component of the transforming journey of health that our nation is embarking on, little has been done to trans-disciplinarily coordinate health policy research and collaboratively address issues driving health inequities. This article examines the past and present health policy issues affecting health equity in the United States and discusses the need to address the multiple, intersecting determinants of health in order to fully realize health equity and eliminate health disparities in the future.
