In Poverty and the Myths of Health Care Reform, Dr. Richard (Buz)
Cooper argues that US poverty and high health care spending are
inextricably entwined. Our nation's health care system bears a
financial burden that is greater than in any other developed
country in large part because impoverished patients use more health
care, driving up costs across the board. Drawing on decades of
research, Dr. Cooper illuminates the geographic patterns of
poverty, wealth, and health care utilization that exist across
neighborhoods, regions, and states-and between countries. He
chronicles the historical threads that have led to such
differences, examines the approaches that have been taken to combat
poverty throughout US history, and analyzes the impact that
structural changes now envisioned for clinical practice are likely
to have. His research reveals that ignoring the impact of low
income on health care utilization while blaming rising costs on
waste, inefficiency, and unnecessary care has led policy makers to
reshape clinical practice in ways that impede providers who care
for the poor. The first book to address the fundamental nexus that
binds poverty and income inequality to soaring health care
utilization and spending, Poverty and the Myths of Health Care
Reform is a must-read for medical professionals, public health
scholars, politicians, and anyone concerned with the heavy burden
of inequality on the health of Americans.
