Universal Health Care in America Hardcover
This provocative work explores the invention and reinvention of a fundamental goal of American social policy - universal health care. This study discovers not only a number of imaginative arguments for extending health services but also an unexpectedly wide array of passionate advocates for universalism. An innovative approach to one of the great unresolved social and political problems of our time, Health Security for All will be of interest to social scientists, health policy scholars, historians, and idealists across the political spectrum. In Health Security for All, Alan Derickson examines the emergence of diverse proposals for all-encompassing health reform since the early twentieth century. "An important contribution to our understanding of American health policy. It will reach a wide audience in history, public health, and political science."--Adam D. Sheingate, Johns Hopkins University "Derickson's scholarship is persuasive and refreshing. Advanced undergraduate and graduate students would highly benefit from this work, as would researchers and scholars in health policy, health services research, and public health."--Daniel M. Fox, President, Milbank Memorial Fund "This book provides an intriguing recount of health care reform's storied and often tumultuous past."-- Ronald T. Ackermann, MD, MPH, Annals of Internal Medicine "Will surely resonate in the thoughts of policymakers... and anyone interested in a fairer and healthier society." -- New England Journal of Medicine "Required reading for those interested in the life and death of health policy initiatives.... valuable primer on health policy." -- JAMA Alan Derickson is professor of history at Pennsylvania State University, University Park.
