Health - The American Dream or just a Dream? - Doctors for America

Health - The American Dream or just a Dream? - Doctors for America

The greater the income inequality, the worse those countries do on the health and social problems index.
Can you guess which country did the worst?
Sadly, our very own.
If you don’t have time to read the book, I encourage you to take a look at Richard Wilkinson’s recent TED talk which provides a glimpse of the remarkable evidence.
As physicians we have dedicated our lives to improving the health of our patients using evidence-based medicine to make decisions about medications and treatments for patients… Can we also use this evidence to write a prescription to make our society more equal and therefore healthier for all of us?
I highly recommend the TED talk linked to above!
