It's time for the weekly "another brilliant study" post:
An analysis of poverty rates and health published in the September issue of The American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that people living in extreme poverty tend to have more chronic illnesses, more frequent and severe disease complications and make greater demands on the health care system.
I haven't read any related studies. I wonder if it's possible that the extremely poor also eat worse, have lousy shelter and must settle for basic cable.
