Health & Wealth: A Graphic Guide to the US Health Care System




The Center for Cartoon Studies presents


The goal of this concise and engaging 32-page [digital] comic is to provide a baseline understanding of the healthcare system so people can feel a little less intimidated by its complexity and cruelty, and more empowered to advocate for themselves and those they care for. 
 
We hope Health and Wealth will generate discussions around healthcare and healthcare reform.

With a Richard Scary aesthetic that will be familiar to many, Health & Wealth includes: 
  • Resources for Further Reading (page 27)
  • An Engagement Guide (page 28) with 
    • Questions for Personal Reflection
    • Group Discussion Questions
    • Activities
      • What's Your Game
      • Personal Healthcare Directory
  • Glossary (page 29)
