    Health is the accumulation of the past and a hard life manifests itself in poor health. The link between poverty and health is a highly complex issue and there is no silver bullet to address the problem. However there are healthcare strategies which will support individuals with igood health. These strategies must employ a holistic definition of health and address the harmful social determinants that drive individuals into poverty and ensure that they stay there. I argue that personal responsibility plays a peripheral role in the allocation of healthcare resources in that it promotes effective healthcare treatments. [From Conclusion]
