[Claudio Schuftan]

From: Maija Kagis maija.kagis at sympatico.ca

It's all in English, but these are two really good programs…people might be
interested …pretty easy to listen to!!!

*From:* Dennis Raphael [mailto:draphael at yorku.ca]

These two 52 minute radio broadcasts will prove to be a great educational
and organizing tool.  They will also occupy two hours in a class!
While Canadian-made, the interviewees include Michael Marmot and Leonard
Syme. Send the link to your local health reporter!

They will be available FREE for download for only another three weeks.  Go

Sick People or Sick Societies?

We are healthier than ever before, and we live longer, but improvements in
health are not distributed evenly. The rich outlive the middle classes, who
outlive the poor. Swedes and Japanese live longer than Canadians, and
Canadians, longer than Americans. Freelance journalist Jill Eisen discovers
that the reasons have little to do with our health care systems
