Description

"America may be one of the wealthiest countries in the world, but its
citizens rank near the bottom in health status. Americans have lower life
expectancy, more infant mortalities and higher adolescent death rates than
most other advanced industrial nations--and even some developing countries.
Though Americans are famous for tolerating great inequality in wealth, the
gross inequities in the health system are less well recognized.. SNIP"

[I am 100 pages into this book and find it such a refreshing change from
the usual  US public health books.  It takes a strong political economy
perspective and provides insights into the social determinants of health in
the USA, the nature of the health care system, and means of moving forward.
Warning:  it is somewhat depressing reading!-dr]
