Introduction
In this report, the author's goal is to talk about something which has animated a lot of his thinking and writing in the past decade. It is how our health is fundamentally socially patterned and reflects the world around us. This has been true for decades in this country, and one could also argue, globally, however this brief will focus on this topic at the national level. As you will see, the author will talk mostly of health haves and health have nots in general, but as we progress, show how COVID-19 has made this evermore apparent.
