This book looks at health policy through the lens of public versus private: population health
versus the somatic social or emotional experiences of a patient. Rather than presenting
policy ethics as overly technical this book takes a novel approach of framing public and
private health in terms of political philosophy ethics and popular examples. Each chapter
ties back to the general ethics or political literature as applicable which are not
customarily parts of the current public health curriculum. The author's work on the
Orgcomplexity blog has touched on this subject by systemically exploring public policy issues
and the tone of this book mimics the blog with an extension of the arguments.
