Social Injustice Definition #2
Based on the Institute of Medicine’s definition of public health: “What we, as a society, do collectively to ensure the conditions in which people can be healthy.”
![Page 7: Social Injustice and Public Health Victor W. Sidel, MD Distinguished University Professor of Social Medicine Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c925503460f9494cbd9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Health and Medical Care Rights
“Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services” [Article 25, Part 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948]
“The attainment of the highest possible level of health is a fundamental human right.” [Preamble to the WHO Constitution, 1946]
![Page 8: Social Injustice and Public Health Victor W. Sidel, MD Distinguished University Professor of Social Medicine Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c925503460f9494cbd9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Role of Medical Care in the Promotion and Protection of Health
The right to health requires assurance of the conditions necessary for health, including adequate levels of housing, nutrition, education, income, public health services and medical care. The right to medical care requires a medical care system that equitably provides adequate medical care to all who seek it.

Role of Medical Care in the Promotion and Protection of Health
Medical care provides diagnosis and treatment of people who are ill and reassurance of people who are concerned they may be ill. Preventive medicine, a part of medical care, is important in prevention of illness among patients and their families.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed.

In FY 2010 cost of military operations in Iraq & Afghanistan will be $130 billion
By March 2010, total spending in Iraq & Afghanistan will hit $1 trillion
Monthly cost during 2009 averaged 5 billion, up from 3.5 billion in 2008
The $800 billion spent on the Iraq war alone exceeds the $700 billion spent in Vietnam

Medical Care
Nearly 45,000 annual deaths are associated with lack of health insurance
Uninsured have higher death rates form hypertension, and heart disease
62 percent of bankruptcies in 2007 were caused by a medical condition
American Journal of Public HealthSeptember 17, 2009

Trade-Offs
• With the more than $2.5 billion spent by Missouri taxpayers and more than $1.3 billion spent by Kansas taxpayers on the war in Afghanistan, medical care insurance could have been provided for almost a million Missourians and 400,000 Kansans.
