Things You’ll Learn

  • 60 to 80 percent of all the health care expenditures in this country are attributable to the social determinants of health
  • Health equity means that you run down to the ground and kill disparities in care
  • The best way to both improve quality, bring about greater health equality by eliminating disparities, and bend the cost curve is to really deal directly with social determinants
  • The vast majority of what we spend on health care in this country is directly attributable to poverty and to impact poverty and its effects on health care costs, we’ve got to go big. We can’t just be doing this stuff on small scales.
