        America's Search for Health, Happiness, and Comfort, 1869-1920

        The U.S. healthcare system is coming under increasing scrutiny in the public arena, as elected officials, medical professionals, and citizens begin to grapple with rapidly increasing costs and overall declines in public health. In this context, Critical Issues in Health and Medicine books explore such contemporary dilemmas from a variety of perspectives, among them political, legal, historical, sociological, and comparative, and with attention to crucial dimensions such as race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, and culture.
