| Abstract: | This article focuses on the need to recognize the linkage between the health status of low-income women and the long-term ability of their children-born and unborn-to compete in this economy. The end of the 20th century is an excellent time for social workers to look retrospectively over the landscape of broad health care dilemmas that were left prominently unresolved in the 1990s and even earlier. It is also important for social workers to raise substantive questions about social justice that will help create and direct the health care policy compass for the next decade. Unhealthy mothers are likely to have considerably greater difficulty producing healthy full-term babies; managing a household; holding a job; and raising, protecting, and giving intellectual and emotional support to their children. These problems are complicated, costly, and circular in their impact and implications. The surplus gives the nation its first real opportunity to prevent these problems from reoccurring. It is of critical importance for social workers to enter the vigorous national policy debate ott health care that has been ongoing for the past several years. |
