Showing of Documentary: Unnatural Causes
NeighborKeepers and Fletcher Allen Health Care are sponsoring a free screening of the first segment of the documentary series UNNATURAL CAUSES on October 30 at 6:30 PM at the Main Street Landing Film House (bottom of College Street).
The UNNATURAL CAUSES documentary series goes beyond the popular belief that health is linked only to medical care, lifestyle and genes to explore evidence of other, more powerful determinants that lead to health disparities: the social conditions in which we are born, live and work. For example, studies show that in the U.S. individuals with a low income have twice the rate of disease as the affluent. However, it's not just the poor who are sick. Even the middle classes die, on average, almost three years sooner than the rich. And, no matter what your income, if you're African American, your risk of disease is higher.
So, do we all have an equal chance at health? Could Economic Policy = Health Policy? According to UNNATURAL CAUSES, higher health rates are not a product of better medicine. Currently, the U.S. spends two and a half times as much per person on health care than other industrialized nations and yet our health outcomes are among the worst in the industrialized world. Other countries that have invested in education and social policies have been able to break the cycle of poverty and spend much less on health care.
