Health/Wealth Inequality

Yet another article highlighting that the poor have much lower life expectancy than those who are well off:

Quote:

The life expectancy gap between rich and poor people in England has been widening for nearly two decades.

The rich stay healthy longer. The poor die younger.

In this case the report is based on information from England, a country which has the NHS and where the benefits system has not yet been completely gutted (though by comparison to many European counties it's pretty poor).

This report makes me think twice because I spent my formative years in Middlesbrough (and suffered very poor health) until my parents moved to somewhere less than an hour away where my health was much better and where life expectancy for men is more than five years longer.
