Description

The authors of the other articles in this journal present a compelling case that not only is the economic well being of states in the Delta causally related to the health of those who live and work there, but also that attained improvements in the health of the population can directly result in improved economic conditions for Delta residents. Such "return on investments" arguments supporting governmental interventions are relatively novel, although not without some precedent. Historically, most publicly (as well as privately) financed imperatives to improve health outcomes among the poor were primarily driven either by charitable principles or to obtain political favor among the electorate. In this special issue of the Journal of Health and Human Services, the rationale for attaining economic advancement through targeted spending on health is strengthened. Regardless of whether or not the impetus for spending on public health arises from a charitable or political imperative or to fuel the engine of economic development, actions taken by government officials in the interest of public health are a result of a discretionary decision, i.e., governments may elect to undertake a public health intervention, but there is often no requirement to do so. However, in addition to the aforementioned voluntary government action initiators, we posit that a fourth rationale can be described and should be considered for development to support governmental actions intended to improve public health--an affirmative duty of governments to act in pursuit of public health.
