!!collectively !!does !!to !!ensure !!that !!conditions !!exist !!in !!which !!people !!can !!be !!healthy. !!The
!!basic !!assumptions !!of !!public !!health !!do !!not !!judge !!the !!morality !!of !!health !!disparities. !!The
!!focus !!is !!on !!prevention !!of !!illness !!not !!on !!spending !!more !!on !!illness !!care. !!Additionally,
