8 Americas

Wow, that's even worse than what John Edwards was campaigning about.

A Harvard School of Public Health study compares longevity among different races, in different regions of the country. Read about it on boston.com (Boston Globe online).

"Where you live, combined with race and income, plays a huge role in the nation's health disparities, differences so stark that a report issued Monday contends it's as if there are eight separate Americas instead of one."

*All of a sudden, since my post, one must sign up for access to boston.com. If you don't feel like doing that, you may read a similar article on Forbes.com.
