Poverty and Health in the United States

Some Significant Considerations

Department of Community Medicine, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Fifth Avenue and 100th Street, New York, N. Y. 10029

It is bad enough that a man should be ignorant for it cuts him off from the commerce of other men's minds. It is perhaps worse that a man should be poor for this condemns him to a life of stint and scheming in which there is no time for dreams and no respite from weariness. But what is surely the worst is that a man should be ill for this prevents his doing anything much about either his poverty or his ignorance. (Nash, R. M., Amer. J. Public Health 58: 167, 1968, from George Kimble, Tropical Africa.)
