Film: Unnatural Causes
Is Inequality Making Us Sick?
12:30pm Katy Campus CyberLounge
On Wednesday, February 18, Pandora’s Box continuing education class presents the documentary Unnatural Causes: Is Inequality Making Us Sick? The US spends twice as much on medical care per person than any other country, yet recent Latino immigrants, though typically poorer than the average American, have better health. But the longer they live here, the more their health advantage erodes. Why??? Do we all have an equal chance for health? What roll do race and economics play? Why is the US 29th in life expectancy and 31st in infant mortality rates? Are work benefits, neighborhoods, schools, and tax policies health issues? What are the best medicines for all? Sociology Professor Mike Fonge will introduce the film and lead discussions afterwards.
