The U.S. is such a rich country, yet more than 40 million Americans lack economic stability and constant access to food, health care, and other resources. This nonfiction social studies title for young adults examines the history and effects of poverty in the nation, how it's measured, and how people of color have been especially affected. It explores Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal policies, Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty, and safety net assistance programs such as Social Security, unemployment insurance, SNAP, Medicare and Medicaid, CHIP,
and the Affordable Care Act.
