the Great Depression
The decrease may seem insignificant until we consider that this is the third consecutive year life expectancy dropped in this country, a multiyear decline not seen since the 1918 flu pandemic which killed about 675,000 Americans.The challenges that provoked the New Deal and the Green New Deal—economic strife and climate change, respectively—are mere subsets of this broader crisis of health. This would be like limiting the climate change debate to technocratic chatter about carbon emissions, while ignoring the complex social, economic, environmental, and political forces that created this challenge over many years.A Health New Deal would shine a light on what we should be talking about when we talk about health, and help shift the Overton window towards bold, transformative solutions. We need a Health New Deal to tackle these core issues, change the health conversation, and create policies that truly safeguard health.Sandro Galea, MD, DrPH, is Professor and Dean at the Boston University School of Public Health.
