“…The modern medical establishment was in its infancy, and the primary role of what is now called insurance was to protect from income loss (e.g., workers' compensation and sickness funds; Murray, 2007). The housing reform movement, although growing and increasingly diverse, was primarily focused on improving housing conditions by regulating construction and maintenance (Veiller, 1911; Von Hoffman, 2012). Lastly, public education was more firmly established as a primary agent of socialization, but the role of schools and neighborhoods for status and economic mobility was less comprehensive (e.g., Calarco, 2018; Cucchiara, 2013; Li et al., 2023; Marsden, 2005; Pyne & Musto, 2023).…”

Social service programs in the United States increasingly focus on giving individuals and families more “choices.” The approach is exemplified by “choice programs,” where people receive services through various forms of market participation. Examples of choice programs include defined contribution retirement plans, housing vouchers, charter schools, and health insurance marketplaces. Individuals across the socioeconomic spectrum have become accustomed to choice programs, and one's social status greatly affects the types, qualities, and prices of services people receive. The importance of the conversation around choice programs for providing access to resources is immense. Yet, despite contentious debate about their utility, we lack a comprehensive understanding of the institutionalization and widespread adoption of choice programs across a diverse range of social service domains. This article synthesizes stratification literature on retirement, healthcare, education, and housing to document the historical rise of choice programs. Particular attention is given to explaining how behavioral patterns and routines become second nature, altering who benefits, who is left out, and the overall effectiveness of the social welfare system.

“…This legislation, which became the model for similar laws across the United States, was a collaborative effort between housing advocates and health promoters (Lubove, 1961). It established maximum lot coverage and minimum sanitation standards, outlawed windowless rooms, and would over time dramatically improve housing conditions (Veiller, 1910(Veiller, , 1914. One of its primary proponents, Lawrence Veiller, was also an early contributor to the American Journal of Public Health; his model housing ordinance proposed transferring the responsibility for code enforcement to local public health agencies (Veiller, 1911(Veiller, , 1913.…”

Durant le deuxième quart du XX e siècle, la gestion idéale de la tuberculose exigeait l'immobilisation du malade pendant un an ou plus. En même temps, les villes nordaméricaines vivaient des changements majeurs axés sur une augmentation importante de la mobilité personnelle. Dans un ensemble de 300 cas d'étude montréalais, les auteurs observent les pressions contradictoires exercées sur les tuberculeux, ainsi que la résistance qu'ils pouvaient leur opposer et les manœuvres que leurs familles pouvaient faire pour défendre une mobilité nécessaire à leur survie. Les demandes des médecins en matière d'isolement et d'immobilisation se butaient à un manque de ressources, produisant un gouffre entre les idéaux de la santé publique moderne et la réalité urbaine.
