Washington
THE divide between health outcomes for the richest and poorest Americans is among the largest in the world, according to a new study.
Of people in households making less than US$22,500 a year, a full 38 per cent reported being in poor or fair health in a survey taken between 2011 and 2013. That's more than three times the rate of health troubles than faced by individuals in households making more than US$47,700 a year, where only 12 per cent of people reported being in poor to fair health, according to the findings published in Health Affairs.
