Sinopse

It’s no secret that how much money you make can affect how healthy you are. At an event co-sponsored by the California Wellness Foundation, Kaiser Health News senior correspondent Anna Gorman moderated a panel discussion about the barriers that keep low-income Americans out of fancy yoga classes and away from organic vegetable stands. Roshan Bastani, director of UCLA’s Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Equity, LaVonna Lewis of the USC Price School of Public Policy, and Tracie McMillan, author of The American Way of Eating, talked about what can be done to level the playing field.
