Yes, I like this report on the obvious - kind of hilights the issues - being poor or middle income and lacking access to health care affect your health and health status.

And then, there is the binge drinking.

Still wonder about conclusions with the old concern about so many women in Marin developing breast cancer.

So, from this article we may conclude that wealthy, prospering counties who can afford healthcare have healthier citizens; and poor, struggling counties whose citizens may not have healthcare exhibit more health problems. Thank you, Professors Obvious and Obtuse for the valuable study.
