Take Us to a Better Place by Mike McClelland, David A. Robertson, Achy Obejas, Hannah Lillith Assadi, Calvin Baker, Karen Lord, Madeline Ashby, Roxane Gay, Yoon Ha Lee, Martha Wells, Frank Bill
3.0
It's more like a 3.5 really.
Of course, in an anthology you're always going to find stories you like better than others. Most of these had some valuable contemplations about the roles of community, (income) inequality, politics,... in health outcomes.
It's a free read (no, really!) so I'd still recommend this to anyone who might be interested in contemplating the future of our healthcare system through different angles and prompts.
However, I felt like there was still something missing from this whole book. I sort of missed seeing authors like Tara Moss here, someone whose perspective would be influenced by their lived experience as a chronically ill author. I don't know every writer's lived experience but somehow still felt like this was missing.
