Summary:
Health literacy is the degree to which people gather, process, understand, and assimilate the basic health information and services they need to make reasonable health choices. Are we as a society really doing a good job with this? As well, do we, as consumers, need to understand all the “health lexicon” in order to consume health/healthcare?
