丽贝卡·欧尼指出，或许我们的分歧并没有我们想象的大——至少在健康方面。欧尼分享的研究表明，尽管经济、政治和种族不同，美国人民对他们需要过上好的生活方面意见一致。她呼吁医疗保健供应方和病人应当专注于什么让我们健康，而非专注在让我们生气的事情上面。

Today, we are a country divided,
0

2658
今天，我们是个分裂的国家，
00:15
or at least that's what we're told.
1
3666
1892
或者至少这是我们被告知的。
00:18
We are torn apart
by immigration, education, guns
by immigration, education, guns

我们被移民，教育，
枪支和医疗保健
枪支和医疗保健
00:23
and health care.
3
11217
1357
弄得四分五裂。
00:25
Health care is ugly and it is loud,
4
13038
2825
医疗保健是丑陋和喧嚣的，
00:28
so loud that it threatens
to drown out everything else.
to drown out everything else.
5
16432
4151
喧嚣到淹没其他一切。
00:32
(Voice-over) Protesters: Health care
is a human right! Fight, fight, fight!
is a human right! Fight, fight, fight!

抗议者：医保是人权！战斗，战斗，战斗！
抗议者：嘿，吼，奥巴马医保必须得走。
00:36
Protesters: Hey hey! Ho ho!
Obamacare has got to go!
Obamacare has got to go!

Rebecca Onie: But what if
underneath all the noise,
underneath all the noise,
8
29009
2448
但如果在噪声之下，
00:43
we're not divided?
9
31481
1714
我们没有分裂？
00:45
What if the things that we don't ask about
10
33219
2657
如果我们没有问的问题
00:47
are the things that we most agree upon?
11
35900
2348
是我们最广泛同意一致的事情呢？
00:50
It turns out that when we ask
the right questions,
the right questions,
12
38822
2663
其实当我们问正确的问题时，
00:53
the answers are startling,
13
41509
2469
答案是惊人的，
00:56
because we agree, not on health care,
but on something more important:
but on something more important:
14
44002
5971
因为我们意见一致的，并非在医保上，
而是在更为重要的事情上：
而是在更为重要的事情上：
01:01
we agree on health.
15
49997
1723
我们在健康问题上一致。
01:04
For 20 years, I've been obsessed
with one question:
with one question:
16
52627
3644
20多年来，我一直着迷于一个问题：
01:08
What do we, what do all of us need
in order to be healthy?
in order to be healthy?
17
56295
4115
我们需要怎样，我们所有人
需要什么才能保持健康？
需要什么才能保持健康？
01:13
As a college student in 1995,
18
61043
2050
1995年我还是个大学生时，
01:15
I spent months talking to physicians
at a chaotic hospital in Boston,
at a chaotic hospital in Boston,
19
63117
4741
我花了几个月的时间和波士顿
一家混乱医院的医生交谈，
一家混乱医院的医生交谈，
01:19
asking them, "What's the one thing
your patients most need to be healthy?"
your patients most need to be healthy?"
20
67882
5016
问他们：“你的病人保持健康
最需要的一件事是什么？”
最需要的一件事是什么？”
01:25
They shared the same story
again and again,
again and again,
21
73709
2513
他们分享了同样的故事一次又一次，
自那之后，我听到了上百个
不同版本的变化。
不同版本的变化。
01:28
one that I've heard hundreds
of variations of since.
of variations of since.
22
76246
3301
01:32
They say, "Every day I see a patient
with an asthma exacerbation,
with an asthma exacerbation,
23
80143
3313
他们说：“每天我看到哮喘的病人，
01:35
and I prescribe a controller medication.
24
83480
2596
就给他们开控制药物。
01:38
But I know she is living
in a mold-infested apartment.
in a mold-infested apartment.
25
86100
3162
但我知道她住在一间
人满为患的公寓里。
人满为患的公寓里。
01:41
Or I see a kid with an ear infection,
and I prescribe antibiotics,
and I prescribe antibiotics,
26
89860
4296
或者我看到一个耳朵感染的孩子，
我给他开了抗生素，
我给他开了抗生素，
01:46
but I know there is no food at home.
27
94180
2038
我知道他家里缺乏食物。
01:48
And I don't ask about those issues,
because there's nothing I can do."
because there's nothing I can do."
28
96702
3854
我并不会问这些问题，
因为我无能为力。”
因为我无能为力。”
01:53
Now, it seemed that it shouldn't
be so complicated
be so complicated
29
101586
2429
现在，看起来设计个医生的访问
01:56
to design a doctor's visit around
what people actually need to be healthy.
what people actually need to be healthy.
30
104039
4362
去了解人们要保持健康需要什么并不复杂。
02:00
So I created Health Leads,
31
108925
1346
所以我创建了健康领导者，
02:02
an organization enabling thousands
of physicians and other caregivers
of physicians and other caregivers
32
110295
4785
用这个组织让成千上万
的医生和其他护理人员
的医生和其他护理人员
02:07
to ask their patients,
33
115104
1762
去询问他们病人，
02:08
"What do you need to be healthy?"
34
116890
1924
“你需要什么来保持健康？”
02:10
and then prescribe those things --
35
118838
2468
然后给他们开这些东西——
02:13
fruits and vegetables, heat in the winter,
36
121330
3216
水果和蔬菜，冬天供暖，
02:16
electricity to refrigerate
their medication --
their medication --
37
124570
3265
制冷保鲜药物的电力——
02:19
and we then navigated
patients to those resources
patients to those resources
38
127859
3359
然后我们引导病人到他们社区
02:23
in their communities.
39
131242
1535
的这些资源。
02:25
The model works.
40
133584
1156
这个模式有效。
02:26
A Mass General Hospital study found that
navigating patients to essential resources
navigating patients to essential resources
41
134764
4785
麻省总医院的一项研究发现，
将病人引导到必要的资源
将病人引导到必要的资源
02:31
is associated with improvements
in blood pressure and cholesterol levels
in blood pressure and cholesterol levels
42
139573
4427
与血压和胆固醇水平的
改善相关，
改善相关，
02:36
similar to introducing a new drug,
43
144024
2833
相当于引入新药物的效果，
02:38
but without all the side effects.
44
146881
1864
而且没有任何副作用。
02:41
So two decades later, what's changed?
45
149817
3243
那么20年后，什么改变了？
02:45
It's now widely recognized
that just 20 percent of health outcomes
that just 20 percent of health outcomes
46
153084
3985
现在人们普遍认为只有20%的健康结果
02:49
are tied to medical care,
47
157093
2000
跟医疗保健相关，
02:51
whereas up to 70 percent
are tied to healthy behaviors
are tied to healthy behaviors
48
159117
5060
而高达70%与健康行为
02:56
and what's called the social
determinants of health --
determinants of health --
49
164201
3475
和被称为社会决定因素
联系在一起——
联系在一起——
02:59
basically, everything that happens to us
for that vast majority of time
for that vast majority of time
50
167700
4115
基本上，我们绝大多数
时间发生的一切
时间发生的一切
03:03
when we're not in the doctor's office
51
171839
2003
都不在医生的办公室
03:05
or the hospital.
52
173866
1540
或者医院中。
03:08
Health care executives
now routinely remind us
now routinely remind us
53
176509
2406
卫生保健主管们现在
经常提醒我们，
经常提醒我们，
03:10
that our zip code matters more
than our genetic code.
than our genetic code.
54
178939
3478
我们的邮政编码比我们的
遗传密码更重要。
遗传密码更重要。
03:14
And one health care publication
even recently had the audacity
even recently had the audacity
55
182441
3779
最近有一份卫生保健
出版物大胆地
出版物大胆地
03:18
to describe the social
determinants of health
determinants of health
56
186244
2179
将健康的社会决定因素描述为
03:20
as "the feel-good buzzword of the year."
57
188447
2554
“年度让人感觉良好的流行词”。
03:23
Now, there's been some action, too.
58
191785
1691
现在，人们也已经有所行动。
03:25
Over the past decade, six major
health care providers and insurers

在过去几十年，6家主要医疗保健
提供商和保险公司
提供商和保险公司
已经投入超过6亿美元
03:29
have committed over 600 million dollars
60
197403
2626
到可负担得起的住房，
03:32
to affordable housing,
61
200053

03:33
recognizing that it reduces
infant mortality

意识到它可以减低
婴儿死亡率
婴儿死亡率
03:37
and increases life expectancy.
63
205777
2372
并增加预期寿命。
03:41
But let's be honest.
64
209055
1707
但让我们坦诚说。
03:42
Is our 3.5 trillion dollar
health care system
health care system
65
210786
4486
我们那3.5万亿医药保健系统
03:47
fundamentally designed to create health?
66
215296
2354
根本上是为了创造健康吗？
03:50
Absolutely not.
67
218317
1508
绝对不是。
03:52
Take access to healthy food.
68
220468
1968
拿获取健康食品来讲。
03:54
Not long ago, a teenage boy shows up
at a hospital in Baltimore,
at a hospital in Baltimore,
69
222952
4164
不久前，一个十多岁的小孩
出现在巴尔的摩一家医院，
出现在巴尔的摩一家医院，
身体消瘦。
03:59
losing weight.
70
227140
1519
04:00
Just as his doctors are huddled up
figuring out which metabolic panels
figuring out which metabolic panels
71
228683
3932
就在医生聚在一起想要搞清楚
要进行哪些代谢功能检验
要进行哪些代谢功能检验
04:04
and blood tests to run,
72
232639
2082
和血液测试时，
04:06
one of my colleagues asks out loud,
73
234745
2339
我一个同事大声询问，
“你们认为他可能是饿了吗？”
04:09
"Do you think he might be hungry?"
74
237108
2083
04:12
It turned out that this kid
had been kicked out of his housing
had been kicked out of his housing
75
240314
2919
原来结果是这个孩子
被赶出了他的房子
被赶出了他的房子
并且几周没吃过饭了。
04:15
and literally hadn't had a meal in weeks.
76
243257
2587
04:18
He said he was "... so relieved
that somebody finally asked me."
that somebody finally asked me."
77
246900
4112
他说他“终于放心了，
有人问我了”
有人问我了”
04:24
Somehow, we've created
a health care system
a health care system
78
252269
2473
曾经，我们创建了
一个医疗保健系统，
一个医疗保健系统，
这个系统中会询问
病人：“你饿了吗？”
病人：“你饿了吗？”
04:26
where asking a patient "Are you hungry?"
79
254766
2876
04:29
is so far outside the bounds
of what counts as health care
of what counts as health care
80
257666
3971
这个问题目前不在医疗
保健的范畴之内，
保健的范畴之内，
04:33
that we mostly fail or forget
to ask altogether;
to ask altogether;
81
261661
3358
以致我们大部分都不会或忘记发问；
04:37
where doctors lament a hospital's
"no third sandwich policy,"
"no third sandwich policy,"
82
265708
4858
那里医生会哀叹医院
“没有第三块三明治政策，”
“没有第三块三明治政策，”
04:42
meaning that if you're
a hungry patient in the ER,
a hungry patient in the ER,
83
270590
2870
意味着如果你是个急症室的
饥肠辘辘的病人，
饥肠辘辘的病人，
04:45
you can have only two free sandwiches,
84
273484
2811
你只能有两块免费的三明治，
04:48
but as many MRIs as the doctor orders;
85
276319
2717
但遵循医嘱的核磁共振成像可没少；
04:52
where, in 2016 in the state of Texas,
86
280186
3113
2016年的德克萨斯州，
04:55
they spent 1.2 billion dollars
on the medical costs of malnutrition
on the medical costs of malnutrition
87
283323
5459
他们在营养不良的医疗上
花费了12亿美元
花费了12亿美元
05:00
instead of on access to healthy food;
88
288806
2555
而不是提供健康的食物；
05:03
where a Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services program
and Medicaid Services program
89
291385
3715
医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心
对饥饿的病人分门别类，
05:07
stratifies hungry patients,
90
295124
2423
05:09
so that some get access to food
and some get information about food,
and some get information about food,
91
297571
5225
这样一些人可以获得食物，
一些人则获得食物的信息，
一些人则获得食物的信息，
05:14
with the justification that
doing nothing for hungry patients
doing nothing for hungry patients
92
302820
3132
不为饥饿病人做任何事情的理由
05:17
is standard and usual care
in this country.
in this country.
93
305976
2889
是这个国家标准和
通常的护理方式。
通常的护理方式。
05:21
And that's just food.
94
309649
1227
而且这还只是食物。
05:22
The same is true
for housing, electricity ...
for housing, electricity ...
95
310900
2719
同样的情况也存在于居住，电力…
05:25
The bottom line is,
health care may be changing,
health care may be changing,
96
313643
3447
不论怎样，医疗保健可能在改变，
05:29
but not by enough
and certainly not fast enough.
and certainly not fast enough.
97
317114
3181
但还不够而且显然不够快速。
05:33
We ask the wrong questions
of our doctors, of our patients,
of our doctors, of our patients,
98
321418
3941
我们对我们对医生，
我们的病人，
我们的病人，
05:37
but also of our citizens.
99
325383
2024
还有我们的公民问了错误的问题。
05:40
We ask about and argue about health care,
100
328423
2870
我们询问并争论医疗保健问题，
05:43
but how do voters think about health?
101
331317
1935
但选民们是如何思考健康的呢？
05:46
No one could tell us
the answer to that question,
the answer to that question,
102
334042
3085
没人能够告诉我们
这个问题的答案，
这个问题的答案，
05:49
so we launched a new initiative
103
337151
1947
于是我们采取了新行动
05:51
and hired a polling firm
to ask voters across the country:
to ask voters across the country:
104
339122
3371
去雇佣一个投票公司询问
全国选民的意见：
全国选民的意见：
05:54
What do you need to be healthy?
105
342517
1891
你需要什么来保持健康？
05:58
What was so striking about this
was that no one has any clue
was that no one has any clue
106
346893
5290
最令人震惊的是没人知道
06:04
what we are talking about in health care.
107
352207
2452
我们在医疗保健方面谈的是什么。
06:07
Voters do not think
the social determinants of health
the social determinants of health
108
355135
2936
选民们并不认为健康的社会决定因素
06:10
is a feel-good phrase.
109
358095
1613
是个让人感觉良好的说法。
06:12
They actually hate it.
110
360097
1623
他们其实讨厌它。
06:14
"What uneducated person
came up with that language?"
came up with that language?"
111
362265
2904
“哪个没受过教育的人想出这个词语？”
其中一个投票者说。
06:17
one of the voters said.
112
365193
1875
06:19
Or my favorite was the guy who said,
113
367092
2039
或者我最喜欢的那个说：
06:21
"You're killing me."
114
369155
1417
“你让我感觉太糟了。”
06:23
But when you strip away
all the ridiculousness
all the ridiculousness
115
371842
2597
但当你抽掉我们关于
医疗保健语言中
医疗保健语言中
06:26
of our language in health care,
116
374463
1878
那些荒谬之处后，
06:28
we know exactly what creates health.
117
376365
2247
我们确实知道什么构建了健康。
06:31
So take Charlotte, North Carolina.
118
379165
2304
就拿北卡罗来纳州的夏洛特来说。
06:33
We had two focus groups,
119
381493
1487
我们有两个焦点小组，
06:35
one of African American Democratic women
and one of white Republican women.
and one of white Republican women.
120
383004
4201
一个非裔美国民主党女性和
一个白人共和党女性。
一个白人共和党女性。
06:39
And we asked them,
"If you had a hundred dollars,
"If you had a hundred dollars,
121
387229
2821
我们问他们，“如果你有100美元，
06:42
how would you spend it
to buy health in your community?
to buy health in your community?
122
390074
3115
你会如何在你的社区中购买健康？”
06:45
Turns out, they agree
nearly to the last percentage point.
nearly to the last percentage point.
123
393672
4170
结果，她们的意见基本非常一致。
06:50
First, they agree that health care
only sort of impacts health.
only sort of impacts health.
124
398537
4080
首先，她们认为医疗保健
只是影响健康的一种。
只是影响健康的一种。
06:54
So they choose to spend
the majority of their dollars
the majority of their dollars
125
402641
2545
所以她们选择把大部分钱花在
非医院和诊所方面。
06:57
outside of hospitals and clinics.
126
405210
1823
06:59
And second, they agree
on what creates health,
on what creates health,
127
407632
3136
其次，她们对构建健康的因素一致，
07:02
spending 19 percent on affordable housing
128
410792
2225
花19%的钱用于支付住房
还有大约25%花在获取健康食物上面。
07:05
and about 25 percent
on access to healthy food.
on access to healthy food.
129
413041
2897
07:08
So I am sure you are thinking,
"This has got to be a fluke."
"This has got to be a fluke."
130
416868
3496
我确定你们在想，“这侥幸获得罢了”
07:12
But it's not.
131
420388
1191

当你问了正确的问题，
07:42
it becomes pretty clear:

这就变得非常清楚：
07:44
we may be fractured

我们可能在这个国家的

The thing that I've been

我一直在纠结的是为什么。
07:55
Why do we agree on health?
145

为什么我们在健康方面意见一致？
07:57
We agree on health
because it is common sense.
because it is common sense.
146
465712

我们对健康意见一致
是因为这是常识。

are not the things we need to be healthy,

不是我们保持健康需要的东西，
08:09
to not get sick in the first place.
150

是一开始就不生病。
08:12
But we also agree because

她看起来精疲力尽。
08:56
And she was.
165

她确实如此。
08:57

Listening to her, I felt
this familiar panic rise in me,

172
542212

听着她的描述，我感到熟悉
的恐慌在我心中升起，
的恐慌在我心中升起，

the residue of my own childhood.

来自我童年的阴影。
09:22
When I was 10 years old,
174
550441
1594
当我10岁时，
09:24
my father lay on the living room floor
175
552059
2574
我父亲躺在客厅的地板上，
09:26
in the grips of one
of his many depressions.

09:37
My father lived,

2083
我父亲活下来了，
09:39
but he struggled to work.
179
567828
1550
但他苦于工作。
09:41
And my family survived,
180
569939
1593
我的家人幸存下来，
09:43
but we teetered,
181
571556
1708
但我们摇摇欲坠，
09:45
down one paycheck,
182
573288

靠着一份薪水，
09:46
relying on my mom's schoolteacher salary.

依赖我母亲学校的工资度日。
09:49
Even as a little kid, I knew
we lived in the shadow

即便是个小孩，我知道
我们生活在
我们生活在
09:53
of financial and emotional collapse.
185
581816
2610
经济和情感奔溃的阴影中。
09:57
This is really hard to say,
186
585482
2238
这真的难以启齿，
09:59
because it's taken me 25 years
to be honest with myself
to be honest with myself
187
587744
3929
因为我花了25年的时间
来对自己坦诚

10:03
that this is why I do this work:
188
591697
2292
这就是我做这个工作的原因：

还需要其他东西，
还需要其他东西，
10:14
we needed a decent income;
191
602052
2330
我们需要一份体面的收入；
10:16
and knowing, as so many do more than I,
192
604406
3237
还知道，就如很多人更能体会的，
10:19
that panic when the basics
threaten to slip away.

那种对基本的东西

10:28
As one of those white Republican

就像夏洛特的一位白人
共和党女性说的，

10:31
"Instead of putting all this money

2716
“与其把所有钱都投在医疗保健，
10:34
put it into affordable housing.
197
622606
1828
不如投一些到可负担的住房中。
10:36
You know, like, take it
and distribute it differently."

198
624458
3687

the right language

结果表明当你有了
正确的沟通语言，

10:43
and you ask the right questions,
200
631876

你问了正确的问题，

the answers become remarkably clear
201
634292
2613
答案变得明显清楚
10:48
and unanimous.
202
636929
1245

10:58
the plan for health care in this country
204
646259
3148
这个国家的医疗保健计划
11:01
is that there is no plan.
205
649431
1580
就是没有一个计划。
11:03
But we have something more powerful
than any politician's bill,
than any politician's bill,
206
651880
4296
但我们有比任何政治家的法案、
11:08
any candidate's platform,
207
656200
2763
任何候选人平台、
11:10
any think tank's policy statement.

影响你的事业和奖金？
11:33
If you are a politician:

你会继续在医疗保健的
焦土上作战，

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Rebecca Onie - Health services innovatorRebecca Onie is the founder of Health Leads, a program that connects patients to basic care and resources, such as food and housing, that are the root cause of many health problems.
Why you should listen
In 1996, as a sophomore in college, Rebecca Onie had a realization: The health care system in the United States was not set up to diagnose nor treat the socioeconomic issues that lead to poor health, and that health care providers are not given tools to address basic problems like nutrition and housing.
So, while still a sophomore, she co-founded Health Leads, a program that assists low-income patients and their families to access food, heat, and other basic resources they need to be healthy. With the additional insight that college volunteers could be recruited and trained into an elite group just like a college sport team, she found the people and skills needed to produce such an audacious idea. Since then it has grown tremendously, and now operates in Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, New York, Providence, and Washington, DC, and in the last year assisted over 8,800 patients.
In 2009, Rebecca was awarded a MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship.
