Excerpt from the book (p.2):
Reducing income inequality in the United States would save as many lives as would be saved by eradicating heart disease or by preventing all deaths from lung cancer, diabetes, motor vehicle crashes, HIV infection, suicide and homicide combined.
Even greater benefits would flow from eliminating class inequality entirely.

REVIEWS
Roger Hollander
Sick and Sicker is nothing less than a scathing indictment of our medical systems and the social and economic structures of the society that they serve.
Apologists for the status quo and reformists who dismiss calls for fundamental structural change will always find ways to rationalize, discredit or simply ignore such penetrating analysis.
However, for the millions in North America and the billions around the world who face the reality of inadequate health care on a daily basis , Dr. Rosenthal has performed a valiant and worthy service.
