"A deeply affecting work from one of the important and innovative voices in American health and medicine." -- Arianna Huffington In Well, physician Sandro Galea examines what Americans miss when they fixate on healthcare: health.Americans spend more money on health than people anywhere else in the world. And what do they get for it? Statistically, not much. Americans today live shorter, less healthy lives than citizens of other rich countries, and these trends show no signs of letting up.The problem, Sandro Galea argues, is that Americans focus on the wrong things when they think about health. Our national understanding of what constitutes "being well" is centered on medicine -- the lifestyles we adopt to stay healthy, and the insurance plans and prescriptions we fall back on when we're not. While all these things are important, they've not proven to be the difference between healthy and unhealthy on the large scale.Well is a radical examination of the subtle and not-so-subtle factors that determine who gets to be healthy in America. Galea shows how the country's failing health is a product of American history and character -- and how refocusing on our national health can usher enlightenment across American life and politics.

This is an important book because it provides a much needed reset of how the United States thinks of health. Rather than quality of life at all life phases (and particularly older years), health is industrialized and conflated with individuals’ disease states and medical treatment thereof.It comes at a critical time when health policy leaders are affording increased attention to social determinants of health such as safe and clean neighborhoods, access to education and meaningful and remunerative work to improve population health and reduce demand for medical care. This is particularly relevant for preventative chronic conditions for which no cure exists -- often where medical science has reached a cost/benefit limit.This book comes as many are living in tents in unsanitary conditions on city streets and vacant lots, increasing the risk of infectious disease spread, reinforcing Galea's premise that individual health adversely affects overall population health. And the inverse where favorable social determinants of health help reinforce individual health.
