I would have to concur with your wife about the poverty situation. It's directly related and linked to the social determinants of health, which we've heard others speak about today, and those are food, shelter, clothing, education, nutrition, those types of social determinants of health, whether you end up being poor or not. The fact is, people who are poor have less healthy lives overall and at times less healthy lifestyles.
