Recenzje

Michael Stein has written a brilliant and important book. His view of health takes a wider lens that includes poverty, social support, and environment to look at factors that drive the need for health care. At a time when health disparities have become more evident, health costs more burdensome, and health care more technical, this book points us towards a different approach based on community, on 'us.' Me vs. Us should be required reading for anyone trying to understand how a nation that spends so much on health care fails to deliver on health.
