We are dying younger, in part, because of deliberate policy choices made over decades:
• Rejecting universal health care.
• Cutting taxes for the rich.
• Shunning income support.
• Abandoning universal child care.

Those choices increasingly set us apart in the world. #SDoH https://t.co/cVYpzpMJJl

Power matters.

“Politics is not a game or a puzzle. Even in the richest societies, and even during ‘normal’ times, power has the potential to kill, or to allow people to thrive.”

Power matters. It’s time to evolve our frameworks to support the movement for health equity on all fronts—be that strengthening the civic muscle of communities or pushing those who have power to use it for the greater good. And when we have power, use it. https://t.co/cGldN5DYHx

“The best guardrail between the failure of our institutions & the decline of democracy is the people. For people to be a source of resilience, however, we must invest in the everyday work of building the sinew & strength people need to become architects of their own futures.” 🧶

“…care is essential to our survival, not just from pandemics, but from the enormous pressures modern life puts on our ability to flourish in this world.” #PDoH #SDoH

[Brian Rahmer @brianrahmer]

The social drivers of health are political constructions. They are produced & reproduced within a political economy that is designed to not value the #VitalConditions for well-being as fundamental pillars for freedom & democracy. This can—and must—be changed. #PDoH #SDoH #CDoH

[Brian Rahmer @brianrahmer]

“…care can center both short-term policy pushes—like childcare, elder care, and paid sick leave—and long-term thinking about how we build back better & create an economy that works for all of us, rather than grinding us down day by day.” https://t.co/Eq81ZSMifo #VitalConditions

Care work is the work that makes all other work possible.

"...importance of comparing the US, and its uniquely private & difficult to access healthcare system, to universal health systems elsewhere.... not dying is a really low baseline for what we’re going for with parents of babies in the US" #VitalConditions https://t.co/aYFt32yMkY

“In the US... maternal deaths are treated as a private tragedy rather than as a public health catastrophe.” https://t.co/q1D6X9KgVP

[Brian Rahmer @brianrahmer]

The United States continues to have the highest rate of maternal deaths of any high-income nation.... within the U.S., the rate is by far the highest for Black women. These deaths are preventable. #SDoH #PDoH #VitalConditions https://t.co/vClmZZjiSB

[Brian Rahmer @brianrahmer]

Nearly every demographic group of American moms dies at a higher rate than all mothers in peer nations. White mothers in America die at a rate of 19 per 100,000. Black moms die at a rate of 49.5 per 100,000, roughly 2.5 times the rate of white Americans. https://t.co/jwbs24FPkl
