#186: Poverty and Health, A Conversation with a Resident Physician in New Jersey

Open Minds with Christopher Balkaran

May 23 2023 • 38 mins

"Poverty is one of the Leading Causes of Death."

I've always been fascinated by the link between poverty and health outcomes in the US. Making informed decisions on health care may be even more difficult for those worrying about making it through the next meal. As well, young children stand to feel the impact the most, with lower levels of nutrition (or many unhealthy food choices in their communities).

What are some things governments should focus on instead? How can we move the yard stick forward? I chat with a Resident Physician in New Jersey, to talk about their experiences and what they see on a daily basis.
