“We think we can make a difference in closing<br />
the gap by the medical model — and I think<br />
it’s important to recognize we don’t need to be<br />
an adversary to the medical model — but the<br />
medical model is not going to close the gap<br />
in excess death. It has to be one based upon<br />
social justice and the notion of human rights.”<br />
