<br>
1. For the Global South to achieve truly universal health care coverage, I posit that, from now on, <b style="font-weight:bold">human rights (HR) and the right to health must</b> simply <b style="font-weight:bold">be</b> actively <b style="font-weight:bold">incorporated into all health care reform initiatives.</b><br>
<br>
2. International aid is purported to be helping in this effort. But the <b style="font-weight:bold">crucial flaw of international aid</b> (or overseas development assistance, ODA) is that <b style="font-weight:bold">states cannot be made to work from the outside.</b> So, are external funders spinning their wheels?<br>
<br>
3. <b style="font-weight:bold">Aid in health has become more politically skewed</b> --often moving away from the lowest income countries. Moreover, <b style="font-weight:bold"><b style="font-weight:bold"> since, rich countries give roughly half as much foreign aid as they did in the 1960s.<br>
<br>
4. </b>Corruption is importantly linked to foreign aid.</b> The more corrupt a country, the more its internal tax revenue tends to decline when it receives grant aid.<span class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large"> <font size="1">...clipped</font></span><br>
