Evaluate the article
The introduction is concise and states the main topic of the article. The lead section includes all of the topics that the article will talk about with a brief description. There is no information that is unnecessary. All of the articles content relates to the topic and is up-to-date. The article does not leave out any information or topics. The article includes information on health care and how it is not equal among the population. The article could use more on the equity gap. The tone of the article is neutral and does not try to persuade. The sources work and are current. The sources are written by an array of authors. All of the facts stated in the article are backed up by a source. The article is well-written and well-organized. I was able to follow along very easily. The article includes multiple images that help readers understand what is being talked about. The images all have captions that are easy to understand and are laid out in an appealing way. Many of the conversation going on in the talk page are about false information, propaganda, and things that need to be edited out. The article is rated a B-class and is part of a Wikiproject. The article is very well-developed and has a lot of information. A few things could be added about the health disparities in medicine relating to race, gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic class. Overall, it was a great article that was easy to read and understand.

GLH comments
This may not be a good choice of an article for this assignment, since it is a wikipedia page for a broad subject, and as such it tends to devolve into an endless set of lists and bullet points. A few things I noticed - references 30-41 are the same (I think they refer to different parts of a bulleted list), same thing with references 14-17.
