With reference to our last class, apologies, especially the 9:45am class, for trying to squeeze so much info in too quickly. Here's a couple of links I promised. The first is a link to the graphs I showed which demonstrate a link between income inequality (GINI) and poor health outcomes:

Next, the result of not having a socialized but a privatized health care system:

And finally, two great documentaries. The first is about the American food supply:
