Health gap 'wider than in Great Depression'
By Nick Triggle

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-10730095

Health reporter, BBC News


Unemployment soared in the Great Depression The health inequality gap in Britain is greater than it was during the post-World War I slump and the Great Depression, a study suggests.

Despite the continued rise in life expectancy, it is well documented that the gap between richest and poorest has actually been widening in recent years.

Researchers from Sheffield and Bristol looked at early death rates since 1921.


They found the current gap was greater than it was in the 1920s and 1930s, the British Medical Journal reports.

So, the Brithis Medical Journal reported that things are worse now, in terms of an "inequality gap" in Great Britian than in the 1930s...They have universal health insurance now vs then... Can you imagine what that gap is like in the USA????
But.........

So..who is going to do the study here.. to prove that there is such a gap,,,or that it is worse now than in the 30s???..no, you will not see such a study here......
