摘要

Beyond socioeconomic status (SES) the rapidly emerging concepts of health literacy, ehealth solutions, ehealth informa-tion, and ehealth interactions are in play here.Inadvertently, the authors make the case for health literacy. The presence of universal health insurance and care access eliminates those factors from consideration.If one assumes that health literacy is likely the main component at play here, no doubt linked to varying levels of SES, does this not perhaps explain a number of the findings of differences in treatment and survival?
