Health Insurance Industry
• Delisting• Cherry picking• Pre-existing conditions• High administrative costs
– 15-30% (vs. 2-3% for Medicare and Medicaid)
• Large profit margins• Loyalty: shareholders (not patients)• Corruption
![Page 20: Health Care in the U.S. and the World Martin Donohoe.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4b5503460f94b3f8cb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Lobbying
• 15,000 full-time lobbyists• Health insurance,
pharmaceutical, and organized medicine spend huge sums of money to influence legislation and policy
![Page 30: Health Care in the U.S. and the World Martin Donohoe.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4b5503460f94b3f8cb/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The “Global Economy”
• 53 of the world’s 100 largest economies are private corporations; 47 are countries–Wal-Mart is larger than Israel
and Greece–AT&T is larger than Malaysia and
Ireland
![Page 31: Health Care in the U.S. and the World Martin Donohoe.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4b5503460f94b3f8cb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Major Contributors to Illness and Death
• 40% of US mortality due to tobacco, poor diet, physical inactivity, and misuse of alcohol
• Every $1 invested in programs covering above items saves $5.60 in health care costs
![Page 32: Health Care in the U.S. and the World Martin Donohoe.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4b5503460f94b3f8cb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Racial Disparities in Health Care:African-Americans
• Higher maternal and infant mortality• Higher death rates for most diseases• Shorter life expectancies• Less health insurance• Undergo fewer diagnostic tests /
therapeutic procedures
![Page 35: Health Care in the U.S. and the World Martin Donohoe.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4b5503460f94b3f8cb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Racial Disparities in Health Care:African-Americans
• Equalizing the mortality rates of whites and African-Americans would have averted 686,202 deaths between 1991 and 2000–Medical advances averted 176,633
deaths
![Page 36: Health Care in the U.S. and the World Martin Donohoe.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4b5503460f94b3f8cb/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Outside the US

worldwide from water-related diseases• Hunger kills as many individuals in two
days as died during the atomic bombing of Hiroshima

Water
• Amount of money needed each year (in addition to current expenditures) to provide water and sanitation for all people in developing nations = $9 billion
• Amount of money spent annually on cosmetics in the U.S. = $8 billion

Toxic Pollutants
• ¼ US citizens live within 4 miles of a Superfund site
• Environmental Racism–Waste dumps/incinerators more
common in lower SES neighborhoods–e.g., “Cancer Belt” (Baton Rogue to
New Orleans)
![Page 54: Health Care in the U.S. and the World Martin Donohoe.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4b5503460f94b3f8cb/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Extinction/Species Loss
• Mass Extinction• More than 1/2 of the top 150
prescription drugs from plants, other living organisms
• More than 250,000 known flowering species– <0.5% surveyed for medicinal value
![Page 55: Health Care in the U.S. and the World Martin Donohoe.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4b5503460f94b3f8cb/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Overconsumption (“Affluenza”)
• U.S. = 6.3% of world’s population–Owns 50% of the world’s wealth
• U.S. responsible for:–25% of world’s energy consumption–33% of paper use–72% of hazardous waste production
![Page 56: Health Care in the U.S. and the World Martin Donohoe.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4b5503460f94b3f8cb/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

Worldwide Health: Can Aid Help?
• U.S charitable giving approximately $250 billion/year– 2.5% of income– 2.9% at height of Great Depression– Poor donate higher percentage of their
incomes than rich; blacks more than whites– Most stays in US
![Page 60: Health Care in the U.S. and the World Martin Donohoe.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4b5503460f94b3f8cb/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
US Charity Care Suffering
• Public hospitals and ERs closing• Hospitals turning to lucrative initiatives
to improve financial situation– Cosmetic surgery, luxury clinics, aggressive
billing practices (including charging uninsured more than insured), recruiting wealthy foreign patients
![Page 61: Health Care in the U.S. and the World Martin Donohoe.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4b5503460f94b3f8cb/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

Income Inequality Kills
Higher income inequality is associated with increased mortality at all per capita income levels
![Page 63: Health Care in the U.S. and the World Martin Donohoe.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4b5503460f94b3f8cb/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Maldistribution of Wealth
• In countries with moderate levels of wealth, happiness is highest where income inequalities lowest–Major league baseball teams are
more successful when players’ salaries are more equitably distributed
![Page 64: Health Care in the U.S. and the World Martin Donohoe.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4b5503460f94b3f8cb/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Maldistribution of wealth
Less than 4% of the combined wealth of the 225 richest individuals in the world would pay for ongoing access to basic education, health care (including reproductive health care), adequate food, safe water, and adequate sanitation for all humans
