RWJF Launches Commission to Build a Healthier America
The nonpartisan commission will will investigate how factors such as education, environment, income and housing shape and affect personal behavioral choices.
Published: February 28, 2008
The United States spends more on health than any other nation. Yet, the U.S. ranks at or near the bottom among industrialized countries on key health indicators, such as infant mortality and life expectancy. Furthermore, a range of social factors keeps this country from being as healthy as it should be and hurts the economy, according to a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation-supported report.
We present two videos:
- A Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Broadcast Health Series webcast offers highlights from the new report and provides background on the formation of the nonpartisan Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Commission to Build a Healthier America.
- A second webcast webcast features primary findings from a Foundation-commissioned report which finds that poor, minority and middle class Americans with less education live sicker and die younger.
