“If we want to improve health, we’re going to have to reform more than just health care” (“Wealth-Care Reform”, Ezra Klein, The American Prospect, June 18, 2009).

 

While improving “health care” quality and access is essential, our nation will not improve health and reduce costs in a meaningful and sustainable way without considering what is making so many of us sick in the first place. And let’s not expect change to come from a debate among legislators; we need greater collective awareness and participation to make a difference.

 

What needs reform most is the level of consciousness through which we see, think and act. This is the work of Communities of Health.
