“Simply put, in the absence of a

radical

shift towards prevention and public health, we will not be successful in containing medical costs or improving the health of the American people.” - President ObamaSlide11

Equity Improves the Bottom Line

Despite our wealth, the U.S. is unhealthier across the board than our peers.There is evidence that flattening the social gradient improves the health of all

. Transferring some of the medical care overspend to equitable social and infrastructure investments can both stabilize the nation’s fiscal health, and improve well-being.Focused upstream interventions (policy, system, and environmental changes)

offer promise.Slide13
Slide14

Advancing Health Equity

Must explicitly address and understand how we got here. (What is the history?)
