Review
Premature death is more than three times more likely to occur in
those at the bottom income levels of American society. Even
middle-income Americans are more than twice as likely to die earlier
than top earners.
The reasons are wide-ranging: economics,
race, genetics, gaps in health care access, and social conditions
ranging from inadequate housing, discrimination, environmental
exposures, education, and the stresses of living in poverty or as a
newly arrived immigrant all play a role.
Seven HSPH faculty members suggest ways the next U.S. President can level the playing field for all Americans.
Read text and watch video discussions with each faculty member.
