Is Poverty a Death Sentence?

For the first time in American history, "children born in certain parts of the United States of America can expect to live shorter lives that their parents' generation," according to a report prepared for Sen. Bernie Sanders. The report, and other research, will be released on Tuesday at a hearing of the Primary Health and Aging Subcommittee, which Sanders chairs.  The hearing will be live-streamed beginning at 10 a.m. Tuesday. You can watch it here and on the Senate health committee website. For a preview, read the report
