Robert Chernomas and Ian Hudson explain this contradictory phenomenon as the product of the unique brand of capitalism that has developed in the US. It is this particular form of capitalism that created both the social and economic conditions that largely influence health outcomes and the inefficient, unpopular and inaccessible health care system that is incapable of dealing with them. The authors argue that improving health in America requires a change in the conditions in which people live and work as well as a restructured health care system.Future of world capitalism.Medical careUnited StatesMedical policyUnited StatesSocial classesHealth aspectsUnited StatesMedical economicsUnited StatesUnited StatesfastMedical careMedical policySocial classesHealth aspectsMedical economics362.10973Chernomas Robert923272Hudson Ian1967-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910632461503321To live and die in America2988553UNINA
