Examples include unfairly treating a person differently because of their race, religion or sexual orientation, and excluding people who use wheelchairs by not providing access. Other forms of discrimination can be unintentional or accidental and are not as easy to see.
Healthcare discrimination is negative action towards, or lack of consideration of, a person or group in a protected category. Federal laws protect people from many forms of healthcare discrimination. For example, suppose you qualify for federal health insurance programs like Medicare or Medicaid.
Nurses can experience overt discrimination by patients such as an outright refusal of any care from them because of their backgrounds. More subtle discriminatory experiences might involve patients assuming registered nurses are medical technicians because of their ethnicity, race, religion or other characteristics.

For example, people are often denied admission to recovery homes because they take medication to treat opioid use disorder (MOUD); or people who need surgery often face denial of health care based on unfounded stigma regarding their health status or substance use, rather than on their pressing medical needs.
