Ending Racial, Ethnic, and Cultural Disparities in American Health Care

People die every day in the United States from health care disparities. These disparities are rooted in race, background, and behaviors characteristic of particular social groups – especially minorities. In a country that spends 2.8 trillion dollars on health care each year - more money than the total economies of all but five entire nations - those kinds of care gaps and care outcomes should not exist. With Ending Racial, Ethnic and Cultural Disparities in American Health Care, author George Halvorson unleashes lessons learned from his decades of experience leading major U.S. health insurance plans and integrated care delivery systems, to unlock a complex set of interconnected issues and offer realistic solutions for policymakers, practitioners, and patients, to align collectively, and make modern health care better, more inclusive, and connected.
