Public Health in the Market pdf
Description

Can the public health enterprise assure the conditions in which people can be healthy in an aggressively profit-oriented environment? This book examines the challenges and dilemmas, and presents potential solutions for those who work for better health in the face of competition, tight budgets and widening gaps in health and wealth.
Public Health in the Market draws on research, the media, opinion polls, and extensive on-site interviews with practitioners and policymakers to document the problems of our health-care system. It includes an historical account and report of the current status of national and local public health systems; uniquely detailed case studies supplemented with "lessons" gleaned from a comparative analysis; and an interpretive summary of the prospects and possible directions for public health. It raises the question of whether public health is to be a commercial enterprise or an enterprising and universal public service.
