Synopsis
Most Canadians believe that their health is shaped by luck, genetics, lifestyle choices, and treatment options-and government agencies, public health units, and disease associations all reinforce this perception. This study, however, tells a different story, arguing that it is the social determinants of health, as imposed by the financial markets, that dictate the health of Canadians today. Showing that health care can be greatly improved with simple changes to social policy, the discussion describes the impact of food, housing, employment, education, and social services on the nation`s health.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Most Canadians believe that their experiences of health and illness are shaped by luck, treatment options and lifestyle choices. Government, public health units and various disease associations all reinforce this perception by continually extolling lifestyle choices and genetic research as the solution to our illnesses. About Canada: Health and Illness tells a different story. This book argues that it is the social determinants of health, imposed on us by the 'market', that dictate the health of Canadians. Social determinants include such things as income and wealth, employment, quality of education, access to health and social services and ability to obtain food and housing. Dennis Raphael compellingly demonstrates that the health and longevity of Canadians could be greatly impacted not by changes to lifestyle, but through simple changes to social policy.
