The Health Gap Paperback – International Edition, January 1, 2016

easy read and interesting

Excellent book that enlightens you with the disparity of healthcare in the United States. Comparing U.S. health both around the globe and locally. Bring forward compelling arguments and points. As well as issues wow the U.S. healthcare. Much work has to be done and this book only emphasize the healthcare issue that is VERY relevant to American politics today. Good read regarding this controversial topic!

Outstanding, clever, entertaining, and O so expert, this book is a gift and an absolute pleasure to read...in other hands it could have been dreadfully boring. If, as Einstein once said, you consider yourself to be a citizen of the world, then this book is the universal salve you've been seeking. But it, read it, enjoy!

.... Into social determinants of health and health disparities. MARMOT writes clearly, simply and thoughtfully. His experience and track record make for serious credibility which in turn makes the content of this book all the more compelling.

Marmot’s book is stunning in its revelation of the central value of the community. Indeed, controlling for multiple risk factors, the community is the most significant determinant of health and longevity.

Love this book and how much there is to learn!

Dr. (Sir) Marmot spoke at the American Public Health Association's 2016 conference. I was mesmerized by his discussion and ordered his book, THE HEALTH GAP at the end of his presentation. Absolutely, a thorough narrative of problems and resolutions to give everyone a fair chance at health care on a global basis.

Very approachable book by a giant in the field of public health/global health/medicine. Good option for a textbook but good for general public
