Is the medical profession the dominant force in health and healthcare? Why do some nations have universal health systems and others not? What are the fundamental causes of health status and health inequalities? This chapter describes Vicente Navarro's explanations for such health and healthcare issues through examining the key concepts he employs in his theoretical and empirical writings.
