Health Care Civil Rights

How Discrimination Law Fails Patients

Inhalt

"Health Care Civil Rights brilliantly reveals how antidiscrimination law's lofty goals are no match for the US health care system's pathologies. Providing more than just a captivating read on trans patients' fates, Anna Kirkland offers a blueprint for studying minority rights and the political economy of health."--Joanna Wuest, author of Born This Way: Science, Citizenship, and Inequality in the American LGBTQ+ Movement "This innovative book considers how health care civil rights can be upheld in the US health care system by examining how civil rights are actually implemented on the ground. Informed by extensive field work, Health Care Civil Rights is written in a refreshingly engaging style that makes room for both an intellectually incisive argument and crystal-clear, practical pointers for correcting discriminatory patterns that harm vulnerable patients."--Colleen Grogan, author of Grow and Hide: The History of America's Health Care State
"Health Care Civil Rights is a meticulously documented, theoretically poignant, and exquisitely written study of the insufficiency of civil rights policy in addressing systemic health inequalities. But structures can change and so can our ways of thinking about enduring social problems baked into every level of healthcare. Kirkland's astute work concludes with sound recommendations for alleviating the failures of health policy and practice."-stef m. shuster, author of Trans Medicine: The Emergence and Practice of Treating Gender
