Beyond Health Care

"The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Commission to Build a Healthier America has just released a new report: Beyond Health Care. At a time when all eyes are trained on the debate over providing access to medical care for all Americans, the report looks beyond health care, to the health of the population. As it turns out our health—public health—has less to do with health insurance than one might think."

Apologies for the late posting. While it still misses out on maternal leave, early childhood, and tends to focus some on health behaviors, it makes a good start in dissociating health from health care. It is a critical report which, without active dissemination, will most likely fall by the wayside while pundits continue to debate health care, hog flus, and housing finance. Tell everyone you know.
