Description
Book SynopsisArguing that health care should be a human right rather than a commodity, this title calls for a social covenant establishing a right to a standard of health care consistent with society's level of resources. By linking rights with limits, it offers a framework for seeking national consensus on a cost-conscious standard of universal medical care.
