TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Born in the USA. The medicalization of social problems JO - Michigan health and hospitals A1 - Peters, Bjorn A1 - McRee, S. SP - 71 EP - 73 VL - 32 IS - 4 N2 - As the debate over health care reform intensified a few years ago, Americans questioned their delivery system and pointed to Canada, Great Britain, and other countries as potential models for reform. NHA conducted its own examination of these models and concluded: the United States, and Michigan in particular, will have difficulty improving the health status of its citizens and controlling health care expenditures unless we more effectively deal with a uniquely American phenomenon--the medicalization of social problems.
