These powerful private institutions, which had for a half century selectively served people on the basis of race and wealth, began equally caring for all on the basis of need. The book draws the reader into the struggles of the unsung heroes of the transformation, black medical leaders whose stubborn courage helped shape the larger civil rights movement. They demanded an end to federal subsidization of discrimination in the form of Medicare payments to hospitals that embraced the "separate but equal" creed that shaped American life during the Jim Crow era. Faced with this pressure, the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations tried to play a cautious chess game, but that game led to perhaps the biggest gamble in the history of domestic policy. Leaders secretly recruited volunteer federal employees to serve as inspectors and an invisible army of hospital workers and civil rights activists to work as agents, making it impossible for hospitals to get Medicare dollars with mere paper compliance. These triumphs did not come without casualties, yet the story offers lessons and hope for realizing this transformational dream. This book is the recipient of the Norman L. and Roselea J. Goldberg Prize from Vanderbilt University Press for the best book in the area of medicine"--Provided by publisher. 000800653 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000800653 650_0 $$aMedicaid$$xHistory. 000800653 650_0 $$aMedicare$$xHistory. 000800653 650_0 $$aCivil rights$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000800653 650_0 $$aDiscrimination in medical care$$zUnited States$$y20th century. 000800653 650_0 $$aHealth care reform$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000800653 650_0 $$aMinorities$$xMedical care$$zUnited States. 000800653 650_0 $$aHealth services accessibility$$zUnited States$$y20th century. 000800653 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aSmith, David Barton.$$tPower to heal.$$dNashville, Tennessee : Vanderbilt University Press, [2016]$$z9780826521064$$w(DLC) 2015042860 000800653 852__ $$bacq 000800653 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000800653 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4833714$$zOnline Access 000800653 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:800653$$pGLOBAL_SET 000800653 980__ $$aEBOOK 000800653 980__ $$aBIB 000800653 982__ $$aEbook 000800653 983__ $$aOnline
