Inhaltsangabe

What health is not: demented and contracted. The health we have. The health
we buy. What we measure is not health. Medications are not health. Medicine
is not health either. Science is business, not health. Hancock County. What
went wrong and why? The happy victim. The human tsunami. The reductive
trap. The trap is sprung. How longevity kidnapped health. Medical services
and communities. The zero sum game. Three people, three aortas. What health
is. A fib. What Webster thinks. Old villages, new lives. Toward a social
definition of health. Health and community together. Health and fairness.
Amish boy. What's next? Who gets what? How should it look? How should we
pay for it? Which doctors?
