The present health care system operates within a larger structure that now has to be openly acknowledged as patriarchal: Caring is viewed as women's work, which is not valued and which is considered less important than the work of men. The moral failure of this worldview is evident in such health care crises as care of the homelessness and those with AIDS, and dramatic rises in rates of infant mortality among the poor. This failure demands a health care revolution--a revolution in the sense that society must give up that which no longer works.
当前的医疗保健系统在一个更大的结构中运行，而这个结构现在必须公开承认为父权制：护理被视为女性的工作，这种工作不受重视，且被认为不如男性的工作重要。这种世界观的道德失败在诸如对无家可归者和艾滋病患者的护理等医疗保健危机以及穷人中婴儿死亡率的急剧上升中显而易见。这种失败需要一场医疗保健革命——一场意味着社会必须摒弃不再起作用的东西的革命。
