In this election year, health care again proves to be one of our
nation's most urgent issues. Daniels, Kennedy, and Kawachi shift
the focus of the debate, forcing us to take a closer look at how
our health is affected by social injustice and inequality. Arguing
that it isn't enough to increase access to doctors, they call for
improving social conditions-such as poverty, lack of education and
affordable housing, and harmful work environments-that damage our
health. By urging us to work toward equality of opportunity for
all, the authors situate health care reform among the larger social
problems we must face.
The authors' argument for reform in early childhood development,
nutrition, work environment, and distribution of income is certain
to spark debate. The editor of The New England Journal of Medicine
and World Health Organization officials respond.
Praise for the New Democracy Forum series: "The New Democracy Forum
series is a civic treasure. . . . A truly good idea, carried out
with intelligence and panache."--Robert Pinsky
NEW DEMOCRACY FORUM
A series of short paperback originals exploring creative solutions
to our most urgent national concerns. The series editors (for
Boston Review), Joshua Cohen and Joel Rogers, aim to foster
politically engaged, intellectually honest, and morally serious
debate about fundamental issues--both on and off the agenda of
conventional politics.
