The devil is in the details of how health care is divided

David B.Smith provides the detailed history of how the goal of equity in health care provision remains unfulfilled to this day. He analyzes the historic crucial time periods when decisions were made and practices established. He describes the mechanisms leading to different health care for white and black and for rich and poor. He documents the economic and the ethnic prejudicial bases for this abridgement of civil rights. This book is a must for all concerned about American justice.
