Description

Discusses the myriad problems with the current trend toward dumbing downÓ coverage. These strategies do nothing to address the serious structural problems in the system which are causing costs to explode & the number of uninsured to swell. Discusses current developments in quality of care initiatives. Describes how the public health system is also in crisis. Considers the fastest growing segment of health care costs -- pharmaceuticals. Tackles public health issues & demonstrates why California must firmly commit to protect all Californians from preventable, serious health threats; assure community-based health promotion & disease prevention activities; & guarantee preventative health services are universally accessible.
