Facing the Facts: Death as a US "Social Disease"
Each year 18,000 people in the United States
die prematurely from preventable disease.
Poverty and unequal access to life-saving drugs
and medical care have made death itself a social
disease in the country. Our health-care system
is broken; many proposals for fixing it are
being put forth. Citizens are rallying at the
state level and meeting with legislators to
demand change.
