Background on Social Determinants of Health

Here is the Foreward:

Foreword

HHS Assistant Secretary for Health Admiral Brett Giroir

America yearns for a new approach to healthcare, and addressing the social determinants of health must be a foundational principle of that approach. America’s healthcare spending is unprecedented and unequalled, accounting for almost 18 percent of our Gross National Product (GNP), potentially topping $6 trillion by 2027. But sadly, we are not getting our money's worth for those expenditures - no matter how you look at the data. Of our 36 peer high-income OECD nations, the United States is 28th in life expectancy, and our life expectancy decreased even more in 2015 and 2017. If this trend continues, my two-year-old granddaughter will live a shorter life and with less quality than my generation. None of us believe that's acceptable.

Today's New York Times offer "The Fullest Look Yet at the Racial Inequity of Coronavirus"

Today's NY Times article: through the Freedom of Information Act has CDC data and shows "Black and Latino people have been disproportionately affected by the coronavirus in a widespread manner that spans the country, throughout hundreds of counties in urban, suburban and rural areas, and across all age groups." For Sarasota County, 81% of the cases has race/ethic information https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/07/05/us/coronavirus-latinos-african-americans-cdc-data.html
