Summary

"This provocative work explores the invention and reinvention of a fundamental goal of American social policy: universal health care. In Health Security for All, historian Alan Derickson examines the emergence of diverse proposals for all-encompassing health reform since the early twentieth century. Derickson discovers not only a number of imaginative arguments for extending health services but also an unexpectedly wide array of passionate advocates for universalism." "Health Security for All will be of interest to social scientists, health policy scholars, historians, and idealists across the political spectrum."--BOOK JACKET.
