Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Most nations see health care as something the community owes all of its citizens along with education and food. A few see health care as an entitlement in order to insure a competitive workforce. And some see health care as a right because it is the cheapest way to deliver care rather than using the complex bureaucracy, exclusions, copayments, and paperwork that characterize our private, employment-linked, market-based health system."How did we get here? Why have these myths about health care lasted so long? Why is the United States the exception among our peer-nations when it comes to universal coverage? What role do public hospitals play both in protecting the vulnerable and allowing us to ignore the sources of their vulnerability? Can or should we hope for a day when the public hospital is no more?"A Spirit of Charity has many of the answers to these vital questions."— From the Foreword by ARTHUR CAPLAN, PhD;Founding Director, Division of Medical Ethics;DRS.
